General Sessions You Won’t Want to Miss

Opening General Session: Hear from the Administration and advocates about what to expect on key disability priorities.

Financial Security Challenges for People With Disabilities: Many people with disabilities are forced to live in poverty because of the rules of programs like Medicaid, SSI, and others. This session will discuss major policy developments and next steps.

Investing in Home and Community-Based Services: Congress and the Administration have supported major investments in home and community-based services and critical funding for the workforce that supports these services. Learn where things stand and why these investments are needed to support people with disabilities.

Elections Are Coming: Why Voting Is Critical: Hear from advocates about why voting matters and what we need to do to support our democracy.

Your health and safety are important to us. In-person attendees will be required to wear masks and show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. A virtual option is available to those who are not vaccinated or are unable to travel to Washington, DC. By registering to attend in person, you are agreeing to comply with all Disability Policy Seminar public health guidelines.
