The Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities National Training Center (MHDD-NTC) presents a webinar exploring the unique intersection of disability, mental health, and people of color.

Join the University of Kentucky Human Development Institute, Kentucky Protection & Advocacy, and the Commonwealth Council on Developmental Disabilities as we commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with a virtual screening of the award-winning documentary "Crip Camp", followed by a panel discussion with the Directors of the film, Nicole Newnham and James Lebrecht! HDI's Morgan Turner will complete this prestigious panel.

The Human Development Institute (HDI) at the University of Kentucky and the HDI Center for Assistive Technology Services (CATS) host an ADA Training series on the fourth Thursday of each month that covers different topics surrounding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

This is an interactive session that goes more in depth on principle topics covered in Part I and explores individual key roles in management, trainers, and trainees; learner characteristics, training design and evaluation, and techniques for supporting learning transfer.  

This webinar is hosted by Wellness Edge.  Wellness Edge aims to increase the quality of engagement for individuals with paralysis and their support networks in recreational settings, and thereby improve health outcomes of not only the individual and enhance the capacity of communities to have inclusive recreational spaces for all individuals

Almost half of what people learn in training never gets used on the job. What’s a trainer to do? These interactive sessions will help the audience understand in new ways how they can make a difference with trainees and how they can help trainees use what they learn in training.

Vivian Lasley will be introducing Patti Logsdon and Danielle Augustin as they share about digital storytelling and what it means for people with disabilities. P&A will discuss what you need to know about important voting changes. CCDD will talk about the power of the 2020 Census in Kentucky.

Sessions will take place over 3 days, June 2-4. Each course involves a presentation, video, or lecture and an interactive, moderated discussion. You can register for as many sessions as you are interested in. All sessions will be provided virtually. Captioning and ASL Interpreting will be provided. CRC and RESNA credit hours also provided.
