Join us for a webinar on Evacuating Students With and Without Access and Functional Needs. Marcie Roth, director of the Office for Disability Integration and Coordination at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Richard Devylder, Senior Advisor for Accessible Transportation at the U.S. Department of Transportation, will be providing strategies for planning and responding to the needs of children during evacuations.  Both are national leaders in planning for and responding to the needs of children and adults with disabilities and others with access and functional needs.  The webinar will be an opportunity to look at planning and responding from a functional needs perspective and a universal team approach.
