Overview
Cotting’s seventh annual “Making Things Possible” Burr Family Conference took place on November 16, 2019. The Conference was accompanied by Cotting’s first ever Edcamp themed “The Continuum of Inclusion” which framed concurrent breakout sessions throughout the day.
Participants were welcomed with a passionate keynote address by recently retired Robert Crabtree, Esq., discussing his role in helping originate Chapter 766 law in 1972 – the law guaranteeing all children the right to a free appropriate public education and later serving as the model for the first federal special education legislation.

- Behavior Plans and Support
- Behavior for Young Children
- Classroom Management for Independence
- Differentiated Instruction
- Executive Functioning
- Google’s Applied Digital Skills
- IEP Process
- Professional Collaboration
- Recreation – Home and Community
- Screen Time and Parent Controls
