Barb Blacklock, disability specialist from the University of Minnesota, will present a workshop on Universal Instructional Design (UID).

She will share these principles and highlight what is often the most difficult principle to implement: Determining Essential Course or Program Requirements. Opportunities will be provided for participants to apply these tools and she will address how to take the next step, identifying technical standards for programs.

Complimentary lunch will follow the seminar.

All activities are invitational and personal time is scheduled into the retreat.

The opening session will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 10th, and we will depart after Lunch on May 11th. You are encouraged to stay overnight.
