• Read comments from past CBI participants

These institutes bring policymakers, educators, individuals with disabilities and their families, and researchers together for a fun and invigorating one to three-day workshop. Part of the tremendous success of the CBI comes from the rich diversity of their participants.

CBI participants have a great opportunity to contribute to the current knowledge base and to expand their own knowledge about special topics. Attendees will be invited to:

• Engage in pre and post-Institute online discussions.
• Attend an intensive one to three day workshop consisting of presentations by nationally recognized researchers in the field of disability.
• Actively participate in discussion groups, with the end goal of making specific recommendations to practitioners and policy makers.
• Interact and network with their colleagues and peers from across the United States: other professionals, individuals with disabilities, researchers and policy makers.
• Read and gather information about research and technical assistance materials.

The National Center on Secondary Education and Transition is funded by and is a partner with the US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, cooperative agreement # H326J000005.
