"In introducing concepts and by discussing examples of barriers to inclusion, we empower educators to make an impact in their schools."

At the live Disability 101 session on July 31, attendees will learn about disability as a vital aspect of diversity and how to be an advocate for meaningful inclusion and positive social change in their communities.

"Disability 101 demonstrates that accessible spaces benefit everyone," said Amie Richards, Community Outreach Manager at The Nora Project. "As a disabled person and former educator, this is the training I wish would have been available to my school community."

Registration is $25 per person for Disability 101, which will be held on Zoom at 11 a.m. ET / 10 a.m. CT / 8 a.m. PT on July 31. Zoom captioning will be available. CART will be provided.
