I received this in my inbox earlier today and I thought it might be relevant to some of my readers:
Hi, my name is Adriana and I am conducting research for a program on the elimination of bias against persons with disabilities. The programwill serve as continuing legal educations for California attorneys. As assistant to an ethics lawyer, I am eager to plant some seeds that will help bust misconceptions such as the binary between the “able-bodied” and the “disabled”. The program will cover basics, such as ADA compliance and how to improve internet accessibility through website design. However, I hope to substantially strengthen and humanize the program with the voices of diverse persons with disabilities who might share their experiences in accessing legal services. Please share your experiences with me and help guide the direction of this program. I want it to raise awareness of the rights and experiences of persons with disabilities to a new audience in order to provide one more avenue where voices can be amplified with integrity, unlike the many media outlets that cut and contort statements to fit their storylines. If you have a story on this topic to share, or have any questions about the program or this request, please contact me! My email is dosmanos@gmail.com.
This sounds a lot like the CLE I co-teach every year at Gillette Children’s Hospital. Maybe I should just send Adriana my PowerPoint slides.
