2012 schedule of conference sessions and events

Here is the schedule for DDNA's 20th Anniversary Annual Education Conference to be held at the Rosen Plaza Hotel, Orlando, Florida on the dates below. This conference brings together outstanding national experts and leaders in the field of IDD and members of DDNA to learn about how we can best meet the health needs of individuals with IDD.

Back by popular demand! DDNA is offering an extra conference day on Thursday, May 3rd. This day includes two tracks: 1) an overview of IDD nursing, epilepsy and seizures, commonly administered medications, and syndromes and conditions - the perfect "last minute" refresher for those who are planning to take the certification exam at the conference and an excellent introduction to IDD nursing to nurses who are new to this specialty. 2) Telephone Triage for Developmental Disabilities Nurses.

The 2012 Pre-Conference will focus on Risk Management and IDD nursing care settings.

The General Sessions on Saturday and the Breakout Sessions on Sunday offer a wide variety of topics of interest and importance to IDD nurses. You can view descriptions of all the sessions below.
