ALDAcon Workshops ALDAcon ProceedingsEach year at ALDAcon a variety of workshops on many topics are presented. Following ALDAcon, the transcripts of these presentations are edited, and made available on the ALDA website, so that the valuable information presented at the 'con can be read by all. ALDA is proud to provide this resource on behalf of all those who have hearing loss. The ALDAcon Proceedings project began in 1996 when it was decided after ALDAcon, to edit, and make available in hard copy, the workshops that were presented that year. This undertaking would not have been possible without the help and partnership of The Research Rehabilitation and Training Center at the University of Arkansas. The key players were Douglas Watson PhD and Stephen Boone PhD. ALDA owes a HUGE debt of gratitude to these two men, as well as the Center at the University, for their ongoing support through the years. The ALDAcon Proceedings were issued in hard copy from 1996 through the year 1999. The editors during that time were Steve Larew of ALDA, who worked with Doug and Steve Boone for the first year, and, Roy Miller, a former president of ALDA Inc, took over in 1997 as the project gained momentum. In 1998 Carolyn Piper began to work with the team from the University, which she continues to do to the present day, with the able help and support of a team of volunteer editors who have included Margreta Von Pein and Michele Bornert. In the year 2000 the ALDAcon Proceedings were placed on the ALDA Inc web site for the first time, and it is here that they continue to be made available - a feat made possible through the years by our ALDA Inc Web Master Ken Arcia. We hope you will enjoy the selection of presentations available here, and join us at future ALDAcons to hear and see many other programs and events
