Southeastern Orientation and Mobility Association (SOMA)
SOMA O&M Conference
Saturday - Tuesday, October 26-29, 2024
Embassy Suites by Hilton Huntsville Hotel & Spa
800 Monroe Street, Huntsville, Alabama 35801
Navigating Space - SOMA-Style!
This conference has HIGH aspirations! In addition to an awesome program, we are arranging for reduced-price tickers and transportation
for you to go the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Space Camp (where many of our blind students have gone) to experience simulation and complete a "mission,"
and to the home of Helen Keller
where you can see the well where she understood her first word.
These field trips are offered the Friday and Saturday before the opening session.
They are separate from the program - the cost is not included in the conference registration fee and they do not provide ACVREP credit.
We will be sending information to sign up for these field trips later.
Meanwhile, our program offers LOTS of forward-thinking, hands-on, innovative sessions - click hereto see our program.
