People with disabilities are part of today’s society – in school and at work, in our families and communities. While it is common to feel awkward around people of differing abilities, do you wish that you could be more at ease and know what to do? Or are you comfortable around one kind of disability, but not others?

Join “Understanding Our Differences” for an important and informative program on Wednesday, March 20th – Raising the Comfort Level: Communicating and Interacting with People with Disabilities.

Wednesday, March 20
