Conference Reports Following are brief reports of recent conferences from disabilityworld staff.
Mojave AVI Resort in rural Nevada. Participants included 250 women with disabilities and their allies, government officials and Native American health, education, advocacy and training specialists. The typical American Indian with a disability lives in or close to poverty, on a sparsely-populated reservation based 100 miles from a large town or city. She probably has no access to early intervention services, accessible or inclusive schooling or assistive technology. She and her family will find it difficult to determine what equipment, devices, therapy, housing adaptation or training are available, if they can be subsidized and if so, by which entity.
