Our Sunday Pre-Conference Workshop and Monday Conference Keynote will be provided by Dr. David H. Rose

Dr. David Rose is a developmental neuropsychologist and educator whose primary focus is on the development of new technologies for learning. In 1984, David Rose and Anne Meyer helped to found CAST with a vision of expanding opportunities for all students, especially those with disabilities, through the innovative development and application of new technologies, resulting in the development of the theory and practical framework of Universal Design for Learning. The work done by CAST now influences educational policy and practice throughout the United States and beyond.

As a researcher, Dr. Rose is the Principal Investigator on a number of U.S. Department of Education and National Science Foundation grants, and is currently the principal investigator of two national centers created to develop and implement the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS). With the increasing prominence of UDL as a field within education, Dr. Rose has become a frequent keynote speaker at national and international conferences. Dr. Rose also teaches at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education where he has been on the faculty for more than 25 years.
