to SW-list and Charles and Valerie, Per usual, last minute dead lines get folks 'doing'. I just submitted our APS proposal. "SW, the link to Biliteracy Development for DHH students", to Deaf Way on line. I followed the instructions but was not sure I was successful as I did get two or three error messages re. the presentation type, group. However, I did get a confirmation from Deaf Way...and the proposal is 'in' the 'to be considered bin'. Now the next step is registration. I'm going to get myself registered first using the 'pay on time' option, monthly payments from now until December. As for the rest of our 'group' presenters, I guess we'll have to see if we can obtain funds from 'somewhere' to get us all to DC in July. Submit what you have Charles....it sounds wonderful!
