Disability Summit
Welcome to LEARN's disABILITY Summit!
This Summit is an inclusive gathering, dedicated to empowering parents, caregivers, students, and the broader community. Within this space, we hope to initiate meaningful dialogue, share insights, and cultivate a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs experienced by those living with a range of unique capabilities. Together, we aim to build a more compassionate society where each person feels a sense of belonging within a community that celebrates all contributions. It is both our responsibility and privilege, as individuals, groups, and agencies, to foster a supportive environment for individuals who love, learn, love, communicate, and work in their own way.
We are happy to embark on this journey with you today, where caring, knowledge, collaboration, and advocacy intersect to create more equitable and just systems of education and a future that is accessible to all. Thank you for choosing to be a part of this experience that we hope you will find transformative.
