Last year we celebrated the 25th anniversary of APSE, this year we celebrate our 25th conference so we hope you enjoy the sun, waves and networking this year. We have a lot of new and exciting events planned that we hope you will enjoy. During lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be several Community Meetings. These informal meetings are designed to broaden the discussion around key topics in our field including Transition, Diversity, Mental Health and many other topics. Box lunches will be available for purchase so you don’t miss out on these critical conversations. If you are interested in hearing several speakers talk about various topics in one session, you won’t want to miss our APSE Talks fashioned after Ted Talks. The APSE Talks will be video-taped and posted on the APSE YouTube page – we hope this new type of session will be of interest to people! Our opening session will include a welcome by Randy Gordon, President of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, an update from Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Michael Yudin and Rehabilitation Services Administration Commissioner Janet LaBreck followed by an inspir- ing presentation by Ray Bradford, former National Director of Policy and Diversity Advocacy for the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. We hope to see everyone poolside for our opening Reception Luau where you will be entertained by the local steel drum band, Panjive. Don’t miss the opportunity to get your photo taken at the APSE Conference photo booth! This year we will honor our 2014 Award Nominees and Winners on Wednesday evening at the Long Beach Convention Center Grand Ballroom which will be followed by Karaoke! Dust off your microphones and danc- ing shoes for a fun-filled and memorable evening. Our closing keynote has been changed due to unforeseen circumstances, but you won’t want to miss this event! A premiere screening of the documentary CinemAbility followed by a Q&A with Director Jenni Gold will remind you of the importance of the work we do! Thank you to our host chapter SoCal APSE and the Long Beach Visitors and Convention Bureau who helped organize this year’s conference. A lot of hard work and time goes into coordinating a national conference and we appreciate all the support to ensure that our 25th National APSE Conference is one to remember! We hope you enjoy this beautiful city for some fun, surf, and networking! If you are lucky enough to stay through the 4th of July to enjoy the Long Beach fireworks – we hear they are some of the best!

Our forum of stories and connections from our ongoing work of inspiring change and promoting access for people with disabilities. I'm Simon Buehrer. [MUSIC FADING OUT] [MUSIC PLAYING] I was more interested in sharing my stories and having a way to express myself as I didn't have much language. [MUSIC PLAYING] I want to help people on the autism spectrum and challenge the status quo that people on the autism spectrum can have an independent life. They can have a productive life. [MUSIC PLAYING] Dani Bowman is an animator, filmmaker, author, teacher, student, and entrepreneur from Southern California. I first met her in August of 2012. She was teaching an animation camp to kids and young adults at our offices in Columbus. Dani was in high school at the time. Yeah, what were you doing in the high school? It was a pleasant, August day, and we had this impromptu video interview before an audience of cicadas from a picnic bench outside our main entrance. [CICADAS IN BACKGROUND THROUGHOUT] Is it hard to go to high school and run your company at the same time? I would not say it's hard, but it's a little tricky because I have to do my homework first before I have to work-- [LAUGHS] --on the animation projects. It's because my aunt and uncle says about that school is the most important thing I have to do.

  • EARTH, WIND & FIRE -‐ Bio XRIJF JUNE 20-‐28, 2014 During the 1970S
    EARTH, WIND & FIRE - Bio During the 1970s, a new brand of pop music was born - one that was steeped in African and African- American styles - particularly jazz and R&B but appealed to a broader cross-section of the listening public. As founder and leader of the band Earth, Wind & Fire, Maurice White not only embraced but also helped bring about this evolution of pop, which bridged the gap that has often separated the musical tastes of black and white America. It certainly was successful, as EWF combined high-caliber musicianship, wide-ranging musical genre eclecticism, and '70s multicultural spiritualism. "I wanted to do something that hadn't been done before," Maurice explains. "Although we were basically jazz musicians, we played soul, funk, gospel, blues, jazz, rock and dance music...which somehow ended up becoming pop. We were coming out of a decade of experimentation, mind expansion and cosmic awareness. I wanted our music to convey messages of universal love and harmony without force- feeding listeners' spiritual content." Maurice was born December 19, 1941, in Memphis, TN. He was immersed in a rich musical culture that spanned the boundaries between jazz, gospel, R&B, blues and early rock. All of these styles played a role in the development of Maurice's musical identity. At age six, he began singing in his church's gospel choir but soon his interest turned to percussion. He began working gigs as a drummer while still in high school. His first professional performance was with Booker T. Jones, who eventually achieved stardom as Booker T and the MGs.
