Temple Universitys Institute on Disabilities will, along with the Leadership and Career Studies Students, organize, extend invitations, facilitate, and provide an outcomes report from community conversations in the students communities. We anticipate that there will be 4 Community Conversations in which the 4 students who are entering their 2nd year in the 4-year program will work with IOD staff to create and hold these events. The conversations will happen in Philadelphia and Delaware Counties where the 4 students reside. The goal is to bring together community members to brainstorm ways in which individuals with disabilities can be supported in employment in their communities. We would work closely with local community leaders and service providers which support young adults with disabilities in the community.
