Friends:

You are invited to attend our Disability Support Network sessions via Zoom this Thursday, April 9, 2020

The sessions are:

"Supporting People with Disabilities"

Thursday, 4/9/2020 - 12 noon ET, (11am CT, 10am MT, 9am PT)

"Tips for Using Zoom to Safely Connect with Others"

Thursday, 4/9/2020 - 4pm ET (3pm CT, 2pm MT, 1pm PT)

We have made several changes to prevent the security issues with Zoom that have been reported in the media recently. You will have to register when you click on the meeting link. You can register at any time prior to the meeting.

Please share these sessions on line and post with your friends on Facebook and other social media. We want to reach as many people as possible. The sessions will last one hour.

We have held ten support sessions over the last two weeks via Zoom with 300 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 purpose of the Disability Support Network is two-fold. First, to support each other and second, how can we best support people with disabilities.

We will have two sessions each week using Zoom for the foreseeable future.

The first session is for supporting each other and to share best practices to support people with disabilities.

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, and break out rooms. We will  cover how to address the recent security issues in Zoom.
