Annual Conference 2014

AHEAD Conference 2014 - Publication/Presentations & Video Now Available

When: March 18th 2014

Where: Dublin Castle Conference Centre

The AHEAD Conference 2014 was a huge success with 200+ attendees descending on Dublin Castle from across the world to share ideas about including studentswith disabilites in all aspects of the college experience.

For many students with disabilities, the ‘real world’ starts in college. Inclusion in this environment comes in many forms.  It’s more than what happens in the lecture hall, it’s about all aspects of higher education. 

The conference was aimed at students and academics with an interest in teaching and learning, professionals supporting students in the 3rd level sector, students union representatives and other interested parties.
