Past Conferences
Since 2019, DVU has brought together self-advocates, families, professionals, and community leaders at least once a year for conferences focused on the issues that matter most to people with disabilities. Held both in person and online, our conferences create accessible opportunities to learn from one another, build connections, share strategies, and strengthen our collective advocacy for choice and control, equity and accountability, and meaningful outcomes.
