Deadline to Submit a Proposal:
May 11, 2012

The disability community has long fought for equal access to physical, social, political, cultural and economic life, seeking changes in laws and policies, as well as in attitudes and perceptions. Access is a civil right, not a privilege to be earned or a favor to be granted. In a time of increasing pressure on local, state and federal budgets, it is more important than ever to strengthen our focus on increasing access for people with disabilities to all aspects of community and economic living. The Southwest Conference on Disability seeks proposals for the 2012 conference in areas including the following:

Physical Access

Access to Health

Access to Employment

Access to Technology

Access to Behavioral Health Through High Quality Service Partnerships
