Description
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15th to October 15th, we recognize the contributions and rich influence of Hispanic Americans have made to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. The Hispanic disability community has an important role to play in this celebration.
The Southeast ADA Center and the other nine centers inform people about their rights and responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other disability rights laws. About three years ago, the ADA National Network created a Multicultural Outreach Committee to provide information and guidance to underserved groups.
In this episode we discuss how the ADA National Network and its Multicultural Outreach Committee educate the Hispanic disability community about their rights under the ADA. We’ll also explain the purpose of the committee and the projects and programs they have developed that support the independence, community participation, and employment of Hispanic people with disabilities.
Our guest is Oscar Gonzalez from the ADA National Network Knowledge Translation Center at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Oscar is the Spanish Language Outreach Program Coordinator for the ADA National Network. Angelica Deaton, Office Coordinator and Research Assistant at the Southeast ADA Center, is our host and moderator for this episode.
This special episode celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month will be available in both English and Spanish. You can access all ADA Live! episodes with archived audio, accessible transcripts, and resources on our website at ADAlive.org.
