2024 GLIPSEA Capacity Building Institute at the Multiple Perspectives Conference

As part of the Multiple Perspectives conference, GLIPSEA will be hosting a strand aimed at exploring inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) and collaborative efforts for comprehensive student support.

Additionally, Chelsea VanHorn Stinnett will be presenting a session called Facilitating Inclusive Course Access for Students with Intellectual Disability.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the of Section 504 or the Rehabilitation Act.  Signed by President Nixon on September 26, 1973, Section 504 launched the United States on a journey towards seamless access.  The first leg, moving from statute to regulation, took nearly 4 years, and included a lawsuits, protests, and the longest occupation of a federal building in US history. The regulations provided a foundation for the ADA and continue to propel us towards seamless access. As we celebrate fifty years, what are the lessons learned along the way?  What are the next steps in our ongoing journey? 

Multiple Perspective’s ongoing exploration of disability as seen in the human condition, societal evolution. Lived experience focused through multiple lenses and reflected in the structure of work, education, and leisure; law and medicine; government and family. Preference will be given to proposals that encourage discussions across the typical social, political, and disciplinary boundaries; connect individuals to local, national or international communities; or consider parallels, distinctions and intersections with race, gender and ethnicity. 

Please Note:  The conference will be held at Ohio State University. The full conference fees will be waived and lunch provided for on site for presenters. Presenters are responsible for their own travel and lodging.
