Disability/Technology Conferences Supported by the Coleman Institute
In addition to the Coleman Institute Annual Conferences on Cognitive Disability and Technology, the Institute provides funds to support conferences hosted by other groups on topics related to our mission. Over 40 conferences, nationally and internationally, have been co-sponsored by the Institute. Organizations have included the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD), TASH, Special Olympics, University of Colorado at Boulder Disability Services, Association on Computing Machinery (ACM), The White House Conference on Aging, The National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC), and the Association of University Centers on Disability (AUCD).
