Irish Sign Language and Captioning (Speech to text) will be provided.

The purpose of this five and a half day International Disability Summer School is to equip participants with the insights and skills necessary to translate the generalities of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into tangible reform for persons with disabilities.

The core focus this year will be on Voice and Choice - connecting reform on legal capacity with reform on the right to community living.

The participants will include persons with disabilities, their families, civil society groups of persons with disabilities as well as advocates for disability law reform, lawyers, policy makers, policy analysts and others.

The faculty includes senior academics, practitioners, advocates and policy makers from around the world. Most of the speakers have been directly and actively engaged in drafting and implementing the Convention.  Others are advocates for change and reform.
