Project Description:

On October 1, 2,& 3rd, people with disabilities; researchers; family members; services; disability; staff of federal, state and local government agencies and students from New Mexico, the soutwest and the nation will come together in Albuquerque to find common ground. We will learn from each other, share ideas, and the latest research findings and discuss and debate current policies and issues concerning disability. The conference is a forum to encourage dialogue and interaction as we search for what brings us together, not what divides us. This year we celebrated the many cultures of disability. The theme encourages participants to explore cultural and lifestyle aspects of disability, the impact of culture on disability, and the changing culture of disability over time. These and other topics will be addressed from many perspectives, including research, advocacy, policy, and personal perspectives.
