AHEAD July, 2008 - Reno, NV
Dr. Angela Stowe and Allison Solomon of UAB have had the following two proposals accepted by AHEAD.
"Fostering a Collaborative Relationship with Legal Counsel: Benefits and Strategies"
Let's face it, Disability Services offices exist to ensure that institutions are complying with the law. As a result, our jobs frequently intersect with issues that require legal expertise. While we may be thoroughly trained in the ADA and Section 504, having a strong collaborative relationship with legal counsel can provide much-needed support, credibility, leverage, and legal expertise. This presentation will discuss strategies and provide examples of how a strong relationship with legal counsel can enhance your program.
"Beyond the Disability Services Office: Intersection with University and Community Services"
Beyond the Disability Services Office" will discuss the not-so-everyday issues that service providers face. We are expected to provide reasonable accommodations ensuring campus accessibility to programs and services; however, we often encounter issues that are beyond providing accommodations. This program will address those situations that call for us to connect with other university and community services.
