Hi Dr. West,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry that I just got this answers back to
you. I have been busy with a class in Hattiesburg and getting ready to

1)       Have any of you (Mississippi AHEAD members) presented at a national
 or in-state meeting, conference, or workshop on topics related to
 accessibility issues or accommodations, services, and supports for students
 with disabilities?  If so, what meeting, where, and when?

 I gave a presentation at the National Federation of the blind
Youth-Retreat. May 31, 2008 in Jackson, MS . The presentation was on
transitioning from high school to college are work for high school
students.

 2)       Have any of you implemented new programs, created new policies
 and/or improved existing policies as a result of professional development
 provided through Mississippi AHEAD?   If so, provide a brief description of
 what you did (Examples might include: modified disability information in
 college catalog or student handbook; developed and implemented a uniform
 syllabus statement on disability accommodations; revised website for
 accessibility purposes; purchased assistive technology equipment; etc.)

Not sure if this will apply to this question. I am working with Mr.
Sam Cleese on a legislative piece for accessible textbooks here in the
state.
