Please note that the program for the 2010 Disability Policy Seminar has not yet been developed. This is due to the fact that our agenda will be largely dependent on the outcome of health care reform legislation in the next several weeks. Should health care reform be enacted prior to our Seminar, we will likely devote time to explaining the provisions of the law and how it will affect people with disabilities. However, regardless of the status of health care reform legislation, we expect to include other high priority disability issue areas such as employment, education, and housing on the agenda for the 2010 Seminar. A draft agenda should be available by then end of January.
