National Forum on Disability Issues
On Saturday July 26, the American Association of Persons with Disabilities is hosting a National Forum on Disability Issues in Columbus, OH with both presidential candidates invited to speak. To read more about this event, go to the AAPD website.
In Cleveland, LEAP is one of many local organizations helping to coordinate a public viewing of this forum at Vocational Guidance Services on E. 55th St. There will be local vendors and organizations available (as well as refreshments!), and we can watch the event over their webcast.
