Determine Your Future: 2024 disAbility Rights and Resources Summit
October 10 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
The disAbility Law Center of Virginia (dLCV) is excited to announce our virtual disAbility Rights and Resources Summit, taking place on October 10th, 2024, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. This event is free and open to the public who wants to learn more about the resources and services available to the disability community.
The theme of this year’s Summit is “Determine Your Future.” People with disabilities are often sidelined in their own care, their own services, and their own communities. We at dLCV are committed to supporting and enhancing the voices of people with disabilities. They are the experts of their own needs and are the ones who should be at the front and center of these conversations. This summit is all about promoting resources and strategies to make you the best self-advocate you can be.
Our summit will feature four main tracks that focus on the specific needs and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. These tracks were selected based on feedback from our community and include:
- Institutional Rights
- Community-Based Services
- Transition and Education Services
- Voting Rights
Sessions will be led by dLCV staff as well as presenters from other organizations. This is a wonderful opportunity for people with disabilities and their loved ones to connect with valuable community resources that support independent and integrated community living. We anticipate around 300 attendees, all working towards the shared goal of building a more inclusive society. Join us to learn more about disability issues and how we can work together to create a Commonwealth free of barriers for individuals with disabilities.
We look forward to seeing you there!
