Training

The ILRU staff and affiliates design and provide training for a number of audiences at scheduled trainings throughout the year and in response to requests for customized training. A variety of teaching modalities are used to effectively deliver information on a wide range of topics. Topics include independent living, the ADA, access to information technology and sensitivity to disability. Training may be delivered in-person, via a live webinar or teleconference, or online or on-demand.
