Description

It is critically important to include self-advocates (i.e., PWD committed to disability advocacy) in training to ensure issues important to advocates are being addressed, to provide interdisciplinary training to advocates, and to offer post-secondary educational options to advocate leaders. In this session, LEND programs will share strategies for recruiting, supporting and educating PWD and describe the process of aligning a LEND curriculum with universal design for learning (UDL) for optimal outcomes.
