Reflecting Upon the ADA: Soaring to Employment
- Tuesday, July 12, 2022 3:00-4:30 PM
Join the Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC) to celebrate the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and learn how the ADA has supported the goal of competitive, integrated employment (CIE) for persons with disabilities. Pre-recorded remarks will be provided by Acting Administrator Alison Barkoff from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) that will include highlights describing how ACL has made strategic investments to advance CIE in communities.
Additionally, a panel comprised of five self-advocates (2 from Rhode Island – Katie Lowe, owner of Cheetah Greetings and Jack Carfagna from Mr. C’s Old Thyme Scents!) will jointly reflect on how the ADA has impacted and empowered them to achieve employment.
