We can provide speakers on a wide range of topics important to people with disabilities and their families. Contact Disability Rights and Resources by email or call 703-324-5426, TTY Relay 711. We can also provide information tables at community resource fairs.

Some of the topics that we can speak on include, but are not limited to:

• Know Your Rights: Through enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Housing Act and other laws that ensure equal access and opportunity for people with disabilities. Presentation includes resources and strategies you can use if you believe you’ve been discriminated against because of your disability.
   
• Disability Language and Best Practices: How to communicate with and about people with a variety of disabilities using dignity and respect.
   
• Disability Equity Through the Lens of the Social Model: Focusing on the historical context of disability discrimination, the impact systemic discrimination has had on persons with disabilities, and the intersectionality of people with disabilities and other protected classes.
