On September 28, the Indiana Disability History Project is hosting a webinar on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with disabilities in Indiana. The event will highlight themes that emerged in oral history interviews with people with disabilities and their families, as well as disability professionals and policy makers. Interviewees talked about experiences of health disparities, challenges brought by isolation and loss, and a stressed system of services and supports. Video clips of these important interviews will be shared. A panel of two disability advocates will discuss their perspectives on the pandemic experience.

 

The free webinar will be held on Wednesday September 28 from 11:00 to 11:45 am EDT. Captioning and American Sign Language Interpreting will be provided. The Indiana Disability History Project is a project of the Center for Health Equity, part of the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, Indiana University.
