What is the Collaborative Experience?

In 2015, the stakeholders of the Collaborative Plan identified a need for professionals to have an opportunity to obtain information about the most recent research and practice in deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing education. We also recognized that parents need access to information relevant to their children's education and opportunities. The Collaborative Experience was first implemented in 2015 to serve this purpose.
