| Abstract: | "Putting the Pieces Together" provided a distinctive opportunity for professionals to interact with their colleagues to learn more about effective practices and strategies for meeting the needs of deaf or hard of hearing students at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Conference participants engaged is sessions that focused on identifying and implementing research-based practices as well as the "nuts and bolts" of managing and delivering effective access services. One of the goals of the conference was to more firmly establish collaborative efforts among professionals who share a common goal: ensuring provision of the most effective educational programs for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Instead of operating in isolation, we can create additional opportunities to share knowledge and experiences that will have a positive impact on our students as they transition from secondary education to postsecondary education and training programs. It is hoped that this information will truly support each reader to put together the pieces in providing effective services to students.
