MORE INFORMATION
Please share this notice widely on listservs, webpages, Twitter, Facebook and other social media. We want to reach as many people as possible.
We have held fifteen support sessions over the last three weeks via Zoom with 700 people attending. Participants found the sessions extremely helpful in these perilous times of the Coronavirus.
One participant stated: "The session helped me connect to others who are passionate about supporting people with disabilities in their communities. It was a great platform to learn, share ideas, and problem solve with leaders from other states who understand
the complexities of living life with a disability during these unprecedented times. The breakout rooms were most helpful."
The Disability Support Network is a volunteer effort. Its purpose is two-fold. First, to support each other and second, to teach participants how to use Zoom to better support people
with disabilities, families, professionals, advocates and direct support professionals through the Coronavirus.
We will have two sessions each week using Zoom.
The first session is for supporting each other and to share best practices to support people with disabilities. It is held every Thursday at 12 noon Eastern Time (11am CT, 10am MT, 9am
PT).
The second session is for Zoom Tech Support. We will share the best practices for using Zoom to moderate and facilitate meetings, setting up free accounts, using Smartphones, break out
rooms and answering tech questions. We will cover how to address the recent security issues in Zoom. This session is held every Thursday at 4pm Eastern Time (3pm CT, 2pm MT, 1pm PT).
Hope to 'see' you online.
