Webinar 1

The Uplifting and Empowering Disabled Leaders Today and Tomorrow: Shizu Akagi and Mary Foumal Memorial Webinar Series is led by disabled adults and designed to increase and diversify involvement and engagement within communities by showcasing successful disabled adults teaching about important topics that will increase the knowledge and understanding of the disabled and non-disabled. Our approach and the overarching theme of the webinar series is grounded in the Social Model of Disability, which says that we are more disabled by the barriers in society than we are by our bodies or our diagnoses.
