Why do we say the "R" word so much? How do we define normal as it relates to ableism? Through personal stories, research and media we will reveal disability in America. Participants will walk away knowing how to be advocates for everyone regardless if a person considers themselves disabled or temporarily abled.

We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible. Thank you! |
