United Cerebral Palsy will host its third annual virtual Conference on Latinos with Disabilities, Sept. 3-5, 2024.
“Nearly 1 of 5 Americans today are Latino, and 1 of 6 in the community, or 8 million people, live with disabilities,” said UCP President and CEO Armando Contreras. “As the country grows and becomes increasingly diverse, the numbers of Latinos will multiply.
“The UCP Conference on Latinos with Disabilities explores the role and impact of that community and how it fits into the nation’s broader discussions about healthcare, disability rights, and access to services and research.”
The conference includes presentations and discussions on topics such as voting rights, language access, refugees with disabilities, and people with disabilities transitioning to higher education.
The conference is free and open to the public. It will feature six panels over the course of the three-day event. To register, visit www.ucp.org/2024cld.
