CONVERSATION 360 - an interactive dialog
ABOUT THE CONVERSATION
The Conversation 360° creates an open and safe platform for an interactive dialog on the issues individuals living with a disability in San Antonio face that create barriers to inclusion, independence, and a more equitable quality of life. This discussion creates a dialog for improvement, identifying ways in which the San Antonio community can take action toward filling the gaps, creating awareness, advancing public attitudes, and creating a community of inclusion for all citizens.
Join disABILITYsa in conversation as we get together to openly discuss the benefits, challenges, barriers, and pathways to engaging in the San Antonio community while addressing the way each topic impacts our selves and neighbors who live with a disability.

December 1st, 2020 5:45pm - 8:00pm ONLINE: ZOOM Since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, conditions for students with disabilities have become more accessible and equitable in colleges and universities. However, this work is far from over. We must continue to improve our programs, structures and facilities for students and build better support systems for students with disabilities and their faculty and staff.
