Yes...it has been a long time since my last post. I've been working feverishly on my research to finish my dissertation. What a sweet day it will be when it is said and done! My daughter came home from Cairo for two weeks during the protests then returned as soon as Mubarak stepped down and classes at the American University in Cairo resumed. Here is another pic from the cab on our way to tour the pyramids last August.

Perry A. Zirkel, University Professor of education and law at Lehigh University, requested that I share the following opportunity with my readers:

Special Education Law Symposium 2011
June 26 - July 1, 2011
Lehigh University is offering its successful and intensive one-week Special Education Law Symposium under the co-direction of Drs. Perry Zirkel and James Newcomer. Presenters at the Institute will provide a practical analysis of legislation, regulations, and case law relating to the education of students with disabilities. Featuring a faculty of legal experts from several states, the program offers two parallel tracks—one for basic and the other for advanced practitioners. The workshop is offered alternatively for graduate or continuing education credit.
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Melody Musgrove, Director of the Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education.
