  • NCI Sarah Taub Webinar Series

    Jan 14th, 2014

    The next installment of the NCI Sarah Taub Webinar Series is scheduled for Tuesday, January 28, from 3:00-4:00 Eastern Standard Time. 

    The webinar will focus on:

    -          What NCI data show us about respondents who communicate verbally and those who communicate non-verbally.  HSRI staff member Dorothy Hiersteiner will present findings from the most recent published Data Brief, using 2011-12 data from the Adult Consumer Survey; and,

    -          How NCI states are ensuring that respondents who communicate non-verbally are surveyed.  State staff and self-advocates from two NCI states will discuss what works, through policies and experiences.  Additionally, we hope that other states will join in the discussion in describing their experiences.

    Josh will be sending out a reminder email a few days before which will include the Data Brief and any PowerPoint that we will be using.

    Please contact Josh (jengler@hsri.org) with any questions
