The Weingarten Learning Resources Center is proud to host the 19th Annual Disability Symposium on Friday, April 3, 2020. The theme for this year’s Symposium is Changing Landscapes. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act serve as the anchors to determine how to assess accommodations, great change has occurred in how post-secondary disability administrators/educators handle accommodation requests.

In preparation for the 2020 Symposium, we are requesting proposals that address the changing landscape of what it means to have a disability; what documentation is needed to support a request for accommodations; and, what does reasonable accommodation mean in the university setting? In creating a proposal, keep in mind the Symposium’s theme and what you have experienced in your daily work with students, parents, faculty and other stakeholders.

Please submit your proposal through our proposal submission form by November 3. The form is available online at: https://tinyurl.com/yybgwecf

The Symposium Review Committee will notify you of the status of your proposal no later than December 15, 2019.

We look forward to reviewing proposals and seeing you in April.
