Disability Rights, Education, Activism and Mentoring (DREAM) student group at the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) is proud to announce:

Disabled & Proud 2018: Leading Change

October 11-13, 2018

Disabled & Proud is a conference for all undergraduate, graduate, and auditing college students with disabilities.  Students with any type of disability are welcome, including those who are culturally Deaf, students with mental health conditions or chronic illnesses, and those with ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning disabilities.  Students in transition programs with intellectual and developmental disabilities are also invited to participate.  There are no age restrictions.  Nondisabled college student allies and prospective college students with disabilities may join us, but this is a conference for students and is *not* for K-12 teachers, professionals, faculty, disability services providers, or parents, unless they are small group leaders, sponsors, or exhibitors.

Each day of the conference will feature online keynotes, small group discussions, presentations, and films.  We’ll even have an online “exhibit hall” where  you can learn about resources across the U.S.

Students will develop leadership skills and strategies to create campus change while networking with other students from across the U.S.  To be sure the conference is available to everyone at a low cost (and no travel), the entire conference will be online.

Registration and details about the conference schedule will be available June 1, 2018.  Additional details and pre-registration for updates is available now at https://www.disabledandproud.org/

Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are available.  Campuses and organizations are also welcome to register as organizations, to hold on-site viewing of conference keynotes or sessions with in-person discussions.  See website for details or contact DREAM at DREAM at ahead.org <mailto:DREAM at ahead.org> .

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
