When Behavior Gets in the Way:
Creating Caring Schools and Communities
About the Conference
The Institute on Disability’s National Center on Inclusive
Education (NCIE) Summer Institute builds upon 15
years of experience presenting high quality, evidencebased conferences that serve professionals, families, and
self-advocates by providing the latest information and
practical strategies in the areas of inclusive education,
post-secondary transition, and autism. The 2013
conference, When Behavior Gets in the Way: Creating
Caring Schools and Communities, will provide learning
experiences for families, educators, community services
providers, community mental health professionals, and
self-advocates who are working to promote inclusive
education and transition experiences for students who
have challenging behaviors.
The conference features five strands over three days.
Participants may attend sessions in one strand or may mix
and match sessions from the five strands according to their
interests to create a custom learning experience.

parents, educators, paraeducators, school administrators,
guidance counselors, related services providers,
psychologists, university students, educational teams
including families, and others interested in creating more
