Raising Children with Disabilities with Disability Pride
April 19th, 2024- April 21st, 2024
A weekend event titled ‘Raising Children with Disabilities: With Disability Pride’ is scheduled to take place to help parents of children with disabilities understand and embrace the concept of disability pride. The retreat aims to challenge societal stereotypes and oppression, promoting the idea of embracing disability as an integral part of a child’s identity. Parents will be provided with resources to understand disability history, culture, and pride, ultimately having the tools to support your child’s self-empowerment.
If you see a historical event you are interested in, please reach out. LETA Solutions may be able to work with you or an organization to put on past events.

There are many ways to share your knowledge and take on leadership roles in our community. One way is to serve on a board. This leadership program is for women with disabilities ages 20- 35 who want to serve on a board. This program is aimed at women who have not served on a board before. Applications will be accepted from individuals that have served on a board in the past or are currently on a board but feel lost in the process or feel like their voice isn’t currently being heard.
