SUMMARY:Bird Song Basics
DESCRIPTION:We are recognizing Blindness Awareness Month. Our upcoming Inclusive Nature Programs that we are holding on October 2nd\, 3rd\, 16th and 17th in partnership with our avid volunteer birder Claire Campbell. \nThe programs we have scheduled for Oct 2nd and 17th are our “Bird Song Basics” these are focused on individuals with visual disabilities. Birding can be a challenging experience\, since finding birds is often a matter of being in the right place at the right time and knowing what to listen for. Using examples of songs you may hear in your own neighborhood or nature spots in Burlington County\, this presentation will help you focus on the various parts of a bird’s song so that you will be able to identify birds by their songs. This program is an indoor/outdoor event. \nLearn more about the programs and register – Trip Descriptions – Pinelands Adventures \nAll our programs that are designed for inclusion and disability access are labeled as “Adventures Without Barriers”.

SUMMARY:Rutgers Disability Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Join the Inclusive Healthy Communities for this Webinar on Creating Systems Change to Advance Disability Inclusion: The Inclusive Healthy Communities grant program and PSE Change \nIndividual accommodations open a door once; systems change keeps it open\, even after the funding ends. This session\, offered as part of the Rutgers Disability Awareness Month programming\, makes the case for centering systems change in disability-inclusion work\, showing how policy\, systems\, and environmental (PSE) strategies move communities beyond one-off fixes toward accessibility that lasts. Using real examples from Inclusive Healthy Communities (IHC) grantees and featuring Shelley Levy from the Kaplan JCC on the Palisades and Jenna Sistad from Neighborhood Connections to Health\, we’ll look at the policy and systems changes they achieved\, what made those changes stick\, and how macro-level work strengthens direct-service and advocacy efforts. You’ll leave with practical ideas for building systems change that outlives its funding into your own disability-rights portfolio. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Power of One Group: How Disability Activism Transformed the Nation’s Oldest Transit System
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mid-Atlantic ADA Center for this webinar that tells the powerful story of a community of people with disabilities who came together to demand change within the nation’s oldest public transit system. At the center of the story is the landmark class action lawsuit Daniels-Finegold et al. v. MBTA\, which challenged the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to provide accessible public transportation. \nWhat began as a fight to make it possible to catch a bus or train became a broader movement to confront systemic failures\, transform public policy\, and elevate understanding of disability and access to create lasting change. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Neuroplasticity: Your Brain Can Keep Healing
DESCRIPTION:Join GOT ABI for this webinar on post brain injuries. \nAfter a brain injury\, it can feel like progress has stalled. The good news is that your brain can still learn\, adapt\, and build new connections. Think of a road blocked by a fallen tree after a bad storm: you find a new way around the fallen tree. Your brain works in a similar way and can make new paths around the blockage. The good news— the more you use the new path\, the easier it gets. Jaime Pierson\, physical therapist\, will explain how this works in plain language\, why practice and repetition matter so much\, and why improvement is still possible months or even years after an injury. You’ll leave with simple\, practical ways to keep moving forward at home. \nJaime Pierson is a physical therapist and co-owner of Empower Rehabilitation & Wellness\, a mobile practice that brings therapy right to people’s homes in Southern New Jersey. She specializes in helping people recover after stroke and other brain injuries\, and in helping older adults stay safe and independent. Jaime is a Certified Stroke Rehabilitation Specialist and is certified in vestibular (balance and dizziness) rehabilitation and concussion care. Her love for this work started early in her training\, and her patients remain her “why.”
