CBI: Issues of Transition and Postsecondary Participation for Individuals with Hidden Disabilities
Dates: March 31, April 1
Location: Sheraton Waikiki, Hawai‘i
Description: The Institute will explore issues related to the transition and postsecondary participation of youth with “hidden” disabilities, which includes learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, psychiatric disabilities, emotional disabilities, Traumatic Brain Injury, and other such disabilities that cannot be “seen.” Individuals with these disabilities are often overlooked and misunderstood, despite the protection offered under Federal disability law and growing recognition that hidden disabilities profoundly effect many aspects of a person’s learning and everyday life.
