May 22, 2012 - Dare to Dream
(Department of Health Sponsored) at URI
This conference dares students to take on leadership roles in their own life, in the lives of their peers, and in the lives of those coming behind them. For many students, Dare to Dream may be the first time they hear and see people talking very openly about what it means to be a person with a disability. Students hear from another peer who has succeeded, raising their expectations/aspirations and they begin to put their disability and/or special health care need in perspective and not let it define who they are. Students see having a disability has many different faces. Students learn about transition resources, accommodations and services; they begin to see the future as a set of options they control, not a predetermined set of events.
