Two objectives:
Use accessible web-based and e-learning resources that increase competency and ensure accessible and inclusive programs
Cultivate alliances in disability communities to create a shared vision of increasing members and volunteers with disabilities in service

5. Efforts in Second Life A virtual training experience:
Incorporates principles of universal design through visual, virtual examples
Regular webinars, training, and discussion groups featuring inclusion and service topics

6. Where are we Going?
Supplement national training with virtual programs and events so state disability coordinators have more opportunities to learn about disability inclusion. Additional forum for states to communicate and share ideas, resources.
