DURHAM, N.H. - The University of New Hampshire's College of Health and Human Services and the Institute on Disability are partners of the
Access '04 Expo, a two-day exhibition on access to community life for
all, held June 18 and 19, 2004, at the Whittemore Center.
The expo is intended for anyone interested in creating accessible
communities and opportunities. Citizens, town and state planners,
professionals, individuals who are aging or have a disability, family
members, students and others are encouraged to attend this two-day
event.
The Access '04 training schedule includes sessions on the new Help
America Vote Act and the ADA as it relates to the accessibility of New
Hampshire's polling places. Access to voting booths is a particularly
important issue as the 2000 presidential election vividly illustrated.
Tools and strategies for towns to become accessible voting places will
be highlighted during the sessions.
Other professional training opportunities offered include: Littleton's
Model Community; employment and individuals with disabilities; HUD
accessibility training; providing benefits counseling to youths in
transition; livable, walkable communities; developing and working with
grassroots volunteer programs; and creating balance in your work and
personal life.
Certificates of attendance are available. For information, visit
http://accessexpo.info or, to register, call (603) 228-2084 or (800)
238-2048 (in NH only).

The Institute on Disability at the UNH is a University Center for
Excellence on Disability, established in 1987 with a mission to
promote the full inclusion of people with disabilities into their
communities.
