A one-day conference bringing together disabled people and their families with advocates, researchers, and healthcare and I/DD professionals
Friday, November 8, 2024
8:30 am – 3:30 pm
at The California Endowment
1000 Alameda Street, Los Angeles
Join us for a one-day in-person conference addressing the chronic racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities affecting Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We will discuss the systemic barriers and institutional biases within various systems, including regional centers, education, health care, and others. We will use personal stories and data to guide us.
The event will feature keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions where participants can work together to find solutions to these challenging issues. Attendees will share practical ideas and policy recommendations to make these systems fairer for everyone, regardless of their race and place. The conference recommendations will be shared in a report to help shape future policies.
This conference is not vendored with regional centers. Regional center clients and families can request reimbursement from their regional centers. SDP participants can ask their FMS to purchase tickets for them.
