I do not seem to be getting emails from TED. What should I do? 

Please check your spam folder and make sure your profile has been updated if you have a different employer than when you joined CEC. Please contact: ted@exceptionalchildren.org if this still does not remedy it.

No exceptions will be made to this TED Board Policy.

 

What if I need Accessibility Accommodation for TED?

For TED events, you are asked while registering to indicate the area(s) in which you will need assistance. Once the registration process is complete, a staff member will follow up with you to review your survey responses and discuss your needs.

We ask that all requests for reasonable accommodation at our event be made as early as possible and at least two weeks in advance of the event, so that we may best meet individual needs and provide outside services, if necessary. On-site requests will be met to the best of our ability; however, available resources may be limited or unavailable. If you have additional questions, please ted@exceptionalchildren.org. 

 

What size do I need to print my poster? 

Posters for Interactive Papers and Kaleidoscope should be 36” x 48”. TED will provide poster boards and binder clips for the posters to go on. 

 

If your question has still not been answered please email ted@exceptionalchildren.org.
