You Get No Extra Points for
Suffering
Teri A. Adams, JD
Stanford Disability Resource
Center |
Abstract: Teri will
discuss the ways – big and small – that people with disabilities can
make their lives easier, and not “suck it up” or “tough it
out”. These life enhancements include both services and devices, as well
as planning and attitudinal shifting.
Biosketch: Teri Adams
is the Assistant Director of the Office of Accessible Education and the Student
Disability Resource Center. The Center is committed to providing Stanford
students with disabilities the support and services needed to allow them the
opportunity to participate in the rich and varied life at Stanford University.
In addition to academic accommodations for students, Teri also expedites all
housing assignments and facilities requests related to disability.
