About the Symposium

This is not a traditional, lecture‑heavy symposium. Instead, the day is designed to spark creativity, elevate diverse perspectives, and build meaningful connections. Participants will work together to address community engagement challenges faced by people with disabilities—generating ideas that can drive real, measurable change.

Whether you are a policymaker, a service provider, an advocate, or someone with lived experience, your insights are essential. This event is an opportunity to collaborate with others across sectors and contribute to shaping a more inclusive Indiana.
