Michigan Disability Rights Coalition is hosting a conversation on accessing disability resources and services in the Dearborn area.
About this Event
People with disabilities in Muslim communities encounter many barriers and challenges accessing mainstream disability services and resources. Stigma, structural inequalities, lack of cultural competency and awareness of local disability services are among the issues that create barriers to accessing disability services in the Muslim communities. Join us in this conversation to discuss what creates barriers to accessing disability resources as well as what disability resources and services are available for the disability community in the Dearborn area.
