We are planning the 2023 FEDHH Conference. This conference will be held in Gainesville, FL on November 10-11, 2023. 

The conference focuses on professional development and collaboration of individuals who work with children and students who are deaf/hard of hearing and includes sessions and breakouts.

The sessions are designed to allow participants to educate themselves on the principles, strategies, and tools that will enable them to provide effective services to their students/clients. It is also designed to allow participants to network and collaborate with other professionals in the field and to provide support for our community.

Our breakout sessions target strategies and/or practices attendees can implement immediately in their instructional delivery. Sessions will be 60 minutes (45 minute presentations/15 minute Q&A)
