Hello everyone,

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Learning Consortium conversation on DD Council responses and initiatives related to COVID-19.  A big thank you to Shawn Callaway from ACL-OIDD, Kim Mercer-Schleider, Kirsten Murphy, Rachel London, Lisa Tesler, Dana Thompson, and Kirsten Murphy for speaking to the group.  All of the comments and feedback were greatly appreciated.  We are excited to learn from each of you as you continue to do good work in the States and Territories.

As promised, I am including the link to the recording and the chat box, plus Kirsten Murphy's slides.  She has also included the work the VT Council and Green Mountain Self-Advocates has done for the OSHA training in plain language.
