Welcome!
The National Center on Severe and Sensory Disabilities with the help and sponsorship of the Bresnahan-Halstead Center at the University of Northern Colorado is pleased to announce the Fifth Research Summit on Low-Incidence Disabilities. Researchers from around the country will be discussing the unique challenges of doing rigorous, valid research in populations that comprise less than 1/4 of 1% of the school age population of the U.S. This group of children -- blind, deaf, and those with severe disabilities -- represent some of the largest challenges in educational research.
Included in this year's Summit will be training in the use of the SEELS and NLTS2 data bases. We will also be offering an SPSS refresher session prior to the SEELS and NLTS2 training.

Mile High Magic! Denver is at about 5,200' altitude and if this is your first trip to Colorado, you might want to look over these tidbits as you get ready to visit with us. You'll be tired of hearing it, but "Drink Plenty of Water!"
