ADA Awareness Month Event: I am...Living With a Non-Apparent Disability

  
Will Keaton speaks about what it is like to live with a non-apparent disability. While some disabilities are apparent and receive the aid and services that are readily available to them such as ramps for wheelchairs, walkers, crutches or canes, more non-apparent disabilities are often viewed with skepticism. Non-Apparent, or hidden, disabilities are often symptoms due to chronic illness, chronic pain, injury, birth disorders, etc. and are not always obvious to the onlooker.

This workshop will focus on the self-advocacy still required 25 years after the passage of the American With Disabilities Act.

Event Date: October 12  5:30pm  Location: Herndon Lounge  Cost: Free
