Today’s the last day to register! If you are a caregiver for your child, parent, or other loved ones… it helps to be informed!
Saturday, August 8, 2009
9AM – 2PM
Held at First Unitarian Church of Orlando
1901 E. Robinson St
Orlando, FL 32803
Public participation in the Disability and the Law Workshop is free as it is part of First Unitarian’s 97 year commitment to the education of Central Florida residents on subjects of social importance. We have secured speakers from a diverse group of charitable organizations as well as government institutions, businesses and activists.
The workshop goals are:
- To inform people with disabilities as well as the general public on the current status of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other applicable federal, state and local laws
- To teach how those laws are, and can be, applied.
We will have panel discussions during the workshop. The key to the workshop will be the interaction between the panelists and attendees.
We will also have tables for information about the our presenting organizations as well as workshop sponsors. Attendees will be able to visit the information tables during registration, breaks and at lunch.
Scheduled speakers:
- The Center for Independent Living
- The Office of U.S. Representative Alan Grayson
- The Agency for Persons with Disabilities
- Attorney Bradley Conway
- Vocational Rehabilitation
- The Orange County Disability Advisory Board
- The National Alliance on Mental Illness
…and others!
