The forwarding/sharing of the information that has not originated from me, does not imply endorsement or support of a particular company/organization/service. 😊 If you will be joining us at SCLS for a program or meeting, please let us know in advance if you will need an accommodation that will make the event accessible to you.

ACCESS = LIFE
Accessibility Enables Community Inclusion
