This year's theme ”Looking Back and Thinking Ahead" is meant to encourage presenters and participants to consider topics, methods and programs from fresh perspectives.
“Congress acknowledged that society's accumulated myths and fears about disability and disease are as handicapping as are the physical limitations that flow from actual impairment.” Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. 480 U.S. 284.
Two decades ago Congress investigated the status of individuals with disabilities in society. Their findings led to the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act in 1990. How relevant are those findings today? As we approach the second decade under the ADA Congress is taking stock with the ADA Restoration Act. What is the status of disability? Graduate and undergraduate posters addressing the themes of Access, Inclusion, and Disability are sought for the Eighth Annual Multiple Perspectives Conference.
