Texas Symposium on Deafblind Education

Convergence: Embracing New Beginnings with Presence and Connections

Austin Marriott North

For much of the field, 2025 has been a date set far in the future as the light at the end of the tunnel. As we move closer to September 2025, reality is setting in as Deafblind Certification in Texas is officially beginning. A whole new profession, a whole new take on qualified personnel, and a giant step toward creating equitable access for all students. 

Join us in creating space and time together for sharing, learning, and reflecting on how this new certification can bring about change while we also consider practical ways to bring the following quote to life: “Every child, every person, has the right to be their own person with thoughts and opinions that others listen to; likewise, to exist in communicative and social contexts in which they are given the opportunity to express themselves.” (Malmgren, Sofi. 2019).

We look forward to celebrating new beginnings with you!

Registration Fees:

    • Professionals & Out of State Professionals – $325.00
    • Paraprofessionals Univ. Students – $225.00
    • Family Members – $225.00
