“Being Able: Disability Awareness and Alliance” will take place on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. in Illini Union Room 406, 1401 West Green Street Urbana, Illinois 61801.
Did you know that about one in four working 20-year-olds will experience a long-term disability in their lifetime? Do you feel this is something you’re even comfortable talking about? The Counseling Center Paraprofessional program is here to provide you with the skills and strategies necessary to not only talk about disability, but how to be an ally to those with disabilities. Learn about disability as an identity, break down misconceptions surrounding the identity, and learn to be an ally to those who identify as disabled.
