Well, Diffability Hollywood is a documentary about the history of people with disabilities in the film industry, talks about the importance of properly portraying the disabled community, and advocates for more inclusion for writers, directors, and actors with disabilities. We are also excited to announce that Director Adrian Esposito an advocate himself will be skyping in to talk about his movie and do a Q and A. The movie night will be located at Northview at Hillel of Central Florida. Teacher Lunch and Learn [April 12th, 11:30AM] A course on accessibility for teachers from a student perspective. A panel of students will offer a range of perspectives on their experiences with classroom accessibility. This session will be a great opportunity for faculty to learn more about what they can do to facilitate inclusive and accessible experiences for disabled students. Lunch is provided *spots on the student panel are limited, but we are still looking for students who want to help educated faculty on accessibility* Inclusion Shabbat [April 13th, 6PM] We are excited to end the week an Inclusion Shabbat at Hillel of Central Florida! Shabbat is the Jewish day of rest, and we will take some time to look at disabilities in Jewish scripture.
