Equitable Participation for Citizens with Disabilities Forums

At the forum, we will explore key PWD disparities findings from national and state research on transportation, housing, employment and access to community resources. Attendees will engage in critical discussion of what data they could most use at their community level to identify and target the disparities that citizens with disabilities face. Together, we will strategize and prioritize opportunities for systems and policy changes. Upon benchmarking community participation disabilities data and highlighting best practices, attendees will action-plan strategies to increase PWD community participation opportunities.
