AAHD WEBINARS AND EVENTS
Yesterday, we presented on Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’ (CBPP) fall “Beyond the Basics” webinar series. In the webinar entitled “Best Practices When Assisting People with Disabilities Enroll in Health Coverage,” we addressed disability etiquette and basic accessibility considerations for anyone doing enrollment work, as well as provided an overview of questions a person with a disability needs to think about when considering their health care options in the marketplace. The slides for this webinar are available on the NDNRC website under “Webinars & Presentations.” For links to register for the other CBPP webinars this month and for links to archives of the previous webinars in the “Beyond the Basics” series, check out our news item. The video recording for our webinar will also be available soon and available on our website.

Are you looking for local partners to help with outreach to the disability community? The NDNRC has Community Outreach Collaboratives (COCs) which work to increase collaborations in the community, dissemination and outreach efforts and enrollment of people with disabilities in the ACA marketplace. You can find a COC, on the COC page of our website.
