The goal of this session is to introduce the National Network to the ADA Trainer Network 2-day facilitator training program (that you will replicate with trainers in your region to enroll them in the ADA TN), to share the modularized curriculum, and to come to consensus about resources and programs that will be national in origin or regional in origin. We will be also be collecting input into how the program could be improved based on conversations with directors, training staff, and the success of the activities we have planned.

As a result of this session, participants will have an enhanced understanding of how to respectfully relate to individuals with disabilities and an increased knowledge of how to StoryCorps’ offerings can be made more accessible to people with a variety of disabilities.

This training is for Regions of the National Network who will be implementing the ADA National Network Training in their regions. While this training is a 1-day training, we will eventually create a 3-day training program to enroll Advanced ADA Training Network Members into this program. We will develop a facilitator’s guide, similar to the one you received for the 2-day training when this program is finalized. In order to speed your departure, we are planning to work through lunch and order in from a local restaurant.
