What Participants Say About the National ADA Symposium.

This Symposium was invaluable. I found it very educational & thorough. The network of people was outstanding and impressive.

I received clarification on many issues that were cloudy when I arrived.

Presenters were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to meet with people after presentations.

Gave me a lot of new contacts and inspired me to get more involved in my community for the betterment of others with disabilities.
