[Mona C Nelson]

Dear Colleagues,

SDRC is offering an upcoming professional development opportunity that is open to students, staff and faculty. Please share widely in your areas.


The Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC) is offering its campus wide training entitled the Disability Ally Workshop on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 9:00am-NOON.

This program seeks to facilitate awareness, understanding, and competency of disability through connecting faculty, staff, and students with resources, knowledge, and relationships of disability as diversity. Participants in this program will gain knowledge about what it means to truly be an ally for students with disabilities.

Topics covered include:

  *   Disability Law
  *   Academic Accommodations
  *   Disability Etiquette
  *   Hidden Disabilities
  *   Disability Demographics
  *   Student Panel - Hear directly from the students about their experiences!

Participants will also receive a Disability Ally placard that they can place in their office or email signature notifying others they are a safe space for individuals with disabilities.

To register, go to UC Learning Center online<https://ucrlearning.ucr.edu/> and search "Disability Ally Workshop". Space is limited.

If you are interested but unable to participate in this workshop, please fill out this form https://forms.gle/xg3mhYDVuNULfjVH8.
We are planning future workshops throughout this academic year. In addition, we would be happy to arrange workshops for individual offices, departments, or campus organizations.
