The 21st International Congress on the Education of the Deaf (ICED) held in Vancouver, British Columbia on July 18-22, 2010 drew over 800 participants from 62 countries. MSD Board members Barbara Raimondo, Esquire, Dr. Cynthia Neese-Bailes, Dr. Angela McCaskill and I along with 84 other Americans attended the Congress. The first ICED was held in 1878 in Paris, France and is now held every five years. Today, ICED is perhaps the most recognized international conference for educators and researchers working with deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
