The Disability Experience Story Project

Ongoing

University community members are invited to share their stories about the disability experience. Stories will be used in trainings, forums and other ways to help the NAU community better understand disability issues. What positive or negative experiences have you had? Has someone been overly helpful, absolutely clueless or amazingly supportive? Were you in a situation with a disabled individual and didn't know how to act or what to say? What could someone learn from your experience about treating individuals with civility and respect? For more information and to enter your story, visit the sponsor’s page: Commission on Disability Access and Design website.
