The American Council on Rural Special Education (ACRES) is a rural “community” at the national level, working to improve services to rural individuals with special needs.  ACRES members include special educators, direct service providers, administrators, teacher trainers, parents and others who are vitally concerned with the enhancement of services to rural individuals with special needs.

 

The ACRES Annual National Conference is the only national conference devoted entirely to rural special education issues.  It is especially valuable for educators, preservice educators, administrators, service providers, parents, and policy makers to share information and address critical issues affecting the delivery of services for individuals with disabilities living in rural areas. 

 

The ACRES Annual National Conference provides an opportunity for individuals from across the nation who share a commitment to rural special education to:

 

1.        Form an important network of resource people.

2.        Attend presentations focusing on critical issues in rural special education.

3.        Hear a distinguished keynote address challenging you to higher levels of services in rural special education.

4.        Participate in poster presentations featuring recent research and successful models.

5.        Learn about exemplary rural special education award winning programs.

6.        Converse with ACRES leaders about how your association can be even more helpful to you.

7.        Enhance your skills.
