Our special session this year is a modified ‘IGNITE!™ session.’ IGNITE!™ is a presentation format that challenges speakers to beat the clock by telling a great story in just seven minutes, using up to 20 slides. Two minutes for questioning will be allowed after each presentation. The purpose of the presentations is to stimulate interest and discussion around innovative and provocative work and ideas in the field of special education. Talks assume a basic level of knowledge for the audience, highlighting the findings from the study(ies) and the “take-home” message(s).
