Join Susan Sygall, CEO of Mobility International USA (MIUSA), for her session "Independence Across Borders."
Have you always wanted to see the world? Are you interested in learning to speak another language, working in a far away place, volunteering, or meeting people with disabilities who are self-advocates in other countries? This session will explore ways that participating in international exchange programs such as study abroad, work abroad, international internships, and volunteer abroad can expand independent living skills, increase transferable skills for work, increase self confidence, and shatter stereotypes! Attendees will also be provided with resources for planning their own international experience.
MIUSA will also be hosting an exhibit booth during the conference, so stop by to learn more about our work at MIUSA, including our National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange.
*Note the organization hosting the conference is offering a limited number of scholarships for people with disabilities who want to attend the conference.
