Affirmation Conference 2013
"LET ME IN"

From the press release
-
The third annual International Disability Rights Affirmation Conference, sponsored by Virtual Ability, Inc., will be held this week on Friday, September 27th and Saturday, 28th September 2013. This year's theme is "LET ME IN.” The sixteen conference sessions highlight diverse perspectives on accessibility and accessibility legislation from around the world.
- Alice Krueger, president of Virtual Ability, Inc., states: “For persons with disabilities, access to information is critical. We must be included in research about the world, and our needs must be considered in policy development. We also should have access to buildings, transportation, and all the other resources used by persons who do not have disabilities. Having access to the full function of communities in which we engage is equally important. “Let me in” is a logical follow-up to last year’s IDRAC conference which focused on communities people with disabilities belong to.”
- All sessions will take place at The Sojourner Auditorium on Virtual Ability Island within Second Life.
- Dr Leticia De Leon is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas – Pan American. She teaches in a teacher preparation program that certifies early childhood, bilingual, and special education elementary teachers.
