Looks fine.  Here is what I had drafted if you want to use any of it.

On April 25, 2011, Marcie Roth, director of the Office for Disability
Integration and Coordination at the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, and Richard Devylder, Senior Advisor for Accessible
Transportation at the U.S. Department of Transportation, will be
providing strategies for planning and responding to the needs of
children during evacuations.  Both were appointed to their positions
by President Barack Obama and are national leaders in planning for and
responding to the needs of children and adults with disabilities and
others with access and functional needs.  The webinar will be an
opportunity to look at planning and responding from a functional needs
perspective and a universal team approach.
