Webinar on Important Health Care Policy Changes - Commenting on the Proposed Section 504 Regulations (Autistic Self Advocacy Network, ASAN)
Description:
In September, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed updates to its Section 504 regulations. There have not been updates to the regulations since they started in 1977. This update is important because we have the chance to protect the rights of disabled people. We can make sure people with disabilities can access health care and vital services without discrimination. Our community needs to show our support for these changes by submitting comments! ASAN is holding a webinar to talk about the proposed updates and how to submit your own comments.
In this webinar, we will answer questions like:
- What is Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act?
- What are the proposed updates?
- Should I submit comments — and how do I do it?
This webinar is open to everyone, but we especially want to invite self-advocates and allies to attend!
The webinar will be on Zoom and will have CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation). It will also be streamed live on Youtube.
