LID CON

Bring your spark. Leave with fire.

Ready to elevate your impact and lead meaningful progress for students with significant cognitive disabilities?

LID CON 2026 is the must-attend summer conference for special education professionals who believe every learner deserves access, dignity, and opportunity.

Designed for teachers, paraeducators, administrators, instructional coaches, and service providers, this two-day experience will challenge your thinking, strengthen your practice, and reignite your passion for inclusive education.

What you’ll gain:

• Practical strategies you can implement immediately for learners with low-incidence disabilities
• Powerful advocacy tools to support students with complex access needs
• A deeper understanding of presuming competence—and how to apply it in real classrooms
• Inspiration and insight from local, state, and national leaders in the field
• A renewed sense of confidence and possibility—because YES, we can

Expect engaging sessions, meaningful conversations, and ideas that truly work—so you leave energized, equipped, and ready to make an even greater impact.
