Disability Conference to Take Place at Truman State University
Truman State University’s School of Health Sciences and Education, the Regional Professional Development Center and Northeast Missouri Disability Support Group are proud to present Kathie Snow, author of “Disability is Natural: Revolutionary Common Sense for Raising Successful Children with Disabilities.” The workshop will take place from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. July 25 in the Student Union Building on the Truman campus. The cost to attend is $55 and includes lunch.
Snow will be discussing her manual that contains positive, common sense approaches to ensure children with disabilities live the lives of their dreams. The parent of a young adult child with a disability (who is now attending college), Snow combines her earlier career in the media and her experiences in the disability arena to ignite positive and long-lasting change in the lives of people with disabilities and their families.
Snow believes that inclusion of people with disabilities can best be accomplished when they move from clienthood to citizenship. She believes this can occur when individuals and their families move away from dependence on special services and begin accessing the abundant supply of natural supports and generic services in the communities.
Residents of Adair County who have a disability or have a family member with a disability may apply for a scholarship to attend free of charge. Call 665.9400 for scholarship information.
