Welcome to the Doctrid Conference
As Chairman of Respect, it is my privilege to welcome you to the DOCTRID Conference Website. This website is a new and innovative extension of the outstanding work of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, who since 1892 have provided care, education and training for people with an intellectual disability.
The main aim of this International Conference is to bring together the research and experience of the Daughters of Charity, along with the International Science community and key principals in the caring profession, to try to improve and enhance quality of life for our special people, through the application of Technology and Research.
Respect & Michigan State University are co-hosting this Conference at Carton House, Maynooth, Co Kildare on 16th of October 2010.
We have invited a number of highly respected international speakers, who have made extraordinary accomplishments in their fields of expertise, to share with us their experience, wisdom and vision. It will be a forum where everybody can share ideas, expand our thinking and understanding, broaden our vision and keep in touch with international standards of good practice.
It is undoubtedly a challenge for all of us to be creative in our thinking but I believe that this forum is giving us a unique opportunity to make a difference.
We look forward to seeing you in October.
Dermot F. Desmond
