Maine LEND trainees virtually advocate for people with disabilities in Washington
Trainees from the Maine Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) program recently attended the virtual Disability Policy Seminar in Washington, D.C., as part of the conclusion of their curriculum.
Policy priorities outlined at the seminar by the Association of University Centers on Disability (AUCD) included home and community service support, integrated competitive employment, COVID-19 relief and vaccines for people with disabilities and their families, and budget allocations for programs including the 52 LEND programs throughout the nation.
This year, four trainees served as leaders for the Capitol Hill Visits: Emily Wasina (M.S.O.T, ’21) led Team Chellie Pingree; Sydney Charles (D.P.T., ’21) led Team Angus King; Maddison French (Nursing, ’20) led Team Susan Collins; and University of Southern Maine student Amy Crawford (M.S.W, ’21) led Team Jared Golden.
