Celebrating All Abilities is this year’s theme for NDEAM (National Disability Employment Awareness Month) where we recognize the abilities of all our students, staff and faculty.
Events are open for everyone to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of persons with disabilities, raise awareness of disability-related topics, and equip the campus community with knowledge and strategies of how best to continue supporting individuals with disabilities. The Division of Civil and Individual Rights, the Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation, the Office of University Compliance and Ethics, Clemson Computing and Information Technology, and Student Accessibility Services have partnered to host several events in October.
This year’s keynote speaker: Adam Gorlitsky will debut a new manual exoskeleton in partnership with CU’s Biomedical Engineering.
Adam Gorlitsky, para-athlete, advocate, and founder of LEGS Medical, debuts a NEW manual exoskeleton while sharing his resilience story, achievements, and partnership with Clemson University Biomedical Engineering to advance innovation and expand access to adaptive technology.
We will also be hosting 10 virtual “Let’s Break to Educate” events that are open to the public that feature faculty and staff presentations on multiple disability awareness topics ranging from digital accessibility and comprehensive instructional practices to Deaf culture, neurodiversity, and effective approaches to accommodation.
Please see the attached flyers for information on all our events.
We hope you will join us for these events! Please feel free to print/distribute these flyers and forward this email broadly in your areas.
