About the Show
February 9, 2023
The Great Lakes ADA Center is offering an Arts-n-Rec session titled “Creating and Fostering Inclusive Wellness and Recreation Programs for individuals with Disabilities,” featuring:
- James Rimmer, PhD, Center for Engagement in Disability Health and Rehabilitation Services (CEDHARS) Director, The University of Alabama at Birmingham
- Timotheus “T.J.” Gordon Jr., MFA, MS, Research Associate, Institute of Disability and Human Development, University of Illinois at Chicago
Achieving health equity in people with disabilities requires a multi-stage approach that includes person-centered referral to wellness programs and services (e.g., exercise and recreation venues, mindfulness classes, diabetes management programs, etc.), empowering people with disabilities to become self-managers of their own health and ensuring that community-based programs and services are inclusive and accessible. Join this session to learn about a three-stage model for addressing health and wellness needs across the home and community settings that is currently being used in a large federally funded center. This session will also address barriers people with disabilities encounter regarding community wellness programs and services, how communities can improve access, and ways to advocate for community inclusion in wellness programs and services. Participants will have an opportunity to ask the speakers questions following the presentation.
Registration is required to this free Zoom webinar.
