| Notes: | KATHIE SNOW –May 1, 2008 Disability is Natural! 8:30 - 9:00 Registration/continental breakfast 9:00 -11:30 Disability is Natural and Other Revolutionary Common Sense Like gender, ethnicity, and other traits, disability is one of many natural characteristics of being human! What can happen when we deconstruct disability, use People First Language, and focus on people’s strengths and abilities? Awesome change is possible when we think differently and talk differently. 11:30 - 12:30 Lunch (provided) and networking 12:30 - 3:00 Creating Community Through Natural Supports Isn’t it time for people with disabilities to move from clienthood, isolation and dependence in the system to citizenship, inclusion, and interdependence in the community? It can happen when we use the abundant supply of our communities’ natural supports and generic services to meet people’s needs while simultaneously ensuring their inclusion! 3:00 Evaluation/Wrap-up | |
