KEYNOTES

Ollie Cantos, Special Counsel to the Acting Assistant Attorney General Civil Rights Division.

Civil Rights: What are They and How Do they Affect Individuals who have Disabilities

Mr. Cantos will share his vast experience and knowledge addressing many of the various aspects of civil rights related to various policies, procedures and their implementation.

Lee Jones, Self Advocate and Nationally Renowned Presenter

Everyone, whether they have a disability or not, has the right to have their very own dreams

The purpose of Lee's speech is to use his experience as both a person with dreams and a person with down syndrome to explain the benefits of setting goals and not letting words like “reasonable expectations” stand in the way.  Lee will use his experience to give you some examples of how to do this.
