We have HIGH ASPIRATIONS for this year¡¯s SOMA O&M conference in Huntsville, Alabama, home of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Space Camp!?
We've got more than 50 from across North America (Mexico to Alaska) and from overseas doing 40 sessions, with an amazingly diverse selection of topics for O&Ms working with students of all ages - everything from motivating movement in children, to working with adults with CVI.
- 21 hours of ACVREP-approved program
- 40 sessions, most of them repeated to give you more choices and fewer conflicts
As always, SOMA is leading the way with sessions that are interactive / hands-on / in-the-street, so bring your thinking cap and walking shoes!

FIELD TRIPS!
You might need your Space Suit, too -- we have arranged reduced-priced tickets you can purchase to two exciting field trips to enjoy before the conference:?
- US Space and Rocket Center and its internationally-known Space Camp Program is just 15 minutes from the hotel! For $90 you can go to Space Camp where your group will receive astronaut training to complete a "space mission" and experience two space simulations.
- Helen Keller¡¯s Birthplace, Ivy Green, where you can see the well where she understood her first word.? The tour and transportation from the hotel is $35/person.
