2005 REHABILITATION AND TRANSITION CONFERENCE
None of us is as great as all of us....
The 2005 Rehabilitation and Transition Conference was held last week on April 13 - 15, at the American Club, in Kohler. "Thank you" to everyone involved! The conference went very well, and all 438 attendees seemed to have enjoyed themselves and gained valuable insights from the breakout sessions that focused on issues including disabilities, employment, transition, risk management, disability grants, autism, ethics, and more. RFW also presented a video conference focusing on generating employment outcomes, presented by Allen Anderson, which drew over 125 people in Kohler, Madison, and Stevens Point.
