Hello from New York,
For siblings who are interested in participating but lack the knowledge on current policies and laws, how may they seek support prior to attending the seminar next month?
Thank you!
The seminar is designed specifically to teach advocates about current issues in disability policy, including sessions designed to be at the “101” level, so don’t worry about doing too much prep work. However, if you are interested in learning more about current issues in disability policy, you may want to check out the Association of University Centers on Disabilities policy newsletter: https://www.aucd.org/template/page.cfm?id=164 (the sign up link is on the right side of the page).
