The Techniques for Success educational conference aims to be the premier education conference in Maryland to support the inclusion, equity and success of students with Down syndrome (Ds) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Every year, our speakers are a who’s-who from the region (and some, in the nation.) It is co-presented by DSNMC, DSAmd, and F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

2021 was the 12th conference since its inception and was a virtual event in November 2021. Topics focused on behavior, special education and online learning adaptation, and the intersection between social justice and disability rights and advocacy. We also held in-person conferences in 2022 and in 2024.

Every year, we welcome educators, paraeducators, therapists, parents/guardians, and others to attend. There is no 2025 Techniques for Success conference planned at this time.
