AHEAD in Texas-The Hub of Disability Support
April 3-5, 2024 in Lubbock, Texas
Lubbock is known as the Hub City because of its position as the economic, educational, and healthcare center of the South Plains. We believe AHEAD in Texas has a unique position as the hub of our state’s disability support personnel – where we join together as the center of knowledge, growth, and service to students with disabilities. Similarly, Disability Support Offices across Texas are also the hub for students and access on a university campus.
