Presentations & Workshops
ASLTA’s 2027 National Professional Development Conference is the 14th Biennial conference dedicated to supporting the success of members of ASL education and their engagement with professional and diverse learning communities. As professionals in ASL education, our roles often require innovation, problem-solving, solidarity spirit, nimble growth, and collaboration as we respond to community needs and the ever-growing demand for ASL learning.
We are in the process of receiving and screening presentation papers. We are hoping to share our choices as soon as they’re confirmed. This means our presenters and workshops list will be updated over time and until the conference.
The ASLTA Board and its conference committee will be updating and modifying information about the upcoming 2027 conference. We recommend that you visit the pages listed below periodically to ensure that you have the most current details.
Pre-Conference Workshop Offered on Wednesday, June 23
Title: From Awareness to Action - Understanding Power, Privilege, Audism, Equity, and Inclusion
This interactive workshop moves beyond awareness to explore how bias, power, privilege, and audism shape ASL classrooms, programs, and professional spaces. Through reflection, discussion, and real-world scenarios, participants will examine inequitable practices, identify opportunities for advocacy, and develop practical strategies to interrupt bias and promote equity and inclusion. Participants will leave with actionable tools to challenge audism, center Deaf perspectives, and create meaningful change in their classrooms, institutions, and professional communities.
