Presenters for a New Attitude

Learn skills you need to share stories with audiences.

Do you have a story to share? You can promote greater understanding and acceptance of people with disabilities and their families. Studies show that when college students and members of the community hear personal stories, they become better teachers, social workers, health professionals and citizens!

“Presenters for a New Attitude” is a two-day workshop for individuals with disabilities and family members where you will learn the skills that you will need to share your stories with audiences. You will do this with the encouragement and feedback of other workshop participants. There is no cost for attending this workshop. Participants are selected through an application process.

Requirements for participants:

• Attend the two day workshop
• Come prepared to share your story
• Practice telling your story
• Give and take supportive feedback

Individuals who complete the training will become members of The Advocacy Center’s Speakers Bureau and may be asked to make disability awareness presentations to the community.
