NEADS Seeks Student Organization Panelists for event on March 4th, 2022

The National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS) is searching for representatives of student groups to discuss student advocacy, mental health, and safe return to campus plans at our latest Virtual Access for All Panel - March 4th at 12pm EST.  

Panelists will have the opportunity to discuss their organization's work, their post-secondary institution's accessibility context, and to highlight relevant and important issues. Panelists will be compensated for their time, and participating organizations will be promoted on NEADS' social media and networks.

More About NEADS' Virtual Access for All Project

NEADS' Virtual Access for All Project provides educational support and awareness aimed at students with disabilities transitioning into post-secondary education. Accessibility and accommodations resources are provided through our quarterly State of the Schools publications, while our regular webinar series addresses topics such as self-advocacy, accessing accommodations at work and school, and transitioning into the workforce. Further, financial support is available through NEADS' Student Awards Program and Accessibility Resilience Program. Virtual Access for All is generously supported by Employment and Social Development Canada's Goal Getters Program, and has recently received an upward amendment in response to positive reception.
