Center for Public Health and Policy Virtual Discussion on Intellectual Disabilities & Equity

Center for Public Health and Policy, American Public Health Association (APHA)
​Virtual Discussion on Intellectual Disabilities and Equity

APHA is proud to have received an inclusive health subgrant from the Special Olympics to highlight the unique experiences of people with intellectual disabilities and identify promising strategies for advancing health equity within this community. These findings will be presented in The Nation's Health and summarized in an issue brief in Summer 2024.
 
As an initial step, we’d like to hear from you about the specific needs and priorities of the intellectual disability community, who the key players are and how APHA can best help in this work. To initiate the conversations, we’d love for you to join us at one of three listening sessions. We will also use this time to introduce the opportunity to serve on the advisory board for this project.
 
Please use the links below to register for the listening session you would like to attend. Registration will be limited to 10 attendees per session.
 

• Wednesday, Dec. 13, 4-5pm EST
• Thursday, Dec. 14, 4-5pm EST
• Wednesday, Jan. 10, 4-5pm EST

 
We hope you’ll join us and share your experience and knowledge. If you are unable to attend but would like to learn more, or if you have any other questions, please contact Lawrence Haynes.
