Allison Johnson, the accommodation specialist of the Accommodation and Accessibility Services Office, is presenting her disability inclusion workshop at the Moebius Syndrome Conference held in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 15, 2022. Johnson created the Accessible Attitudes Workshop to start the conversation of people's past experiences with the disability community as well as discuss experiences that they have faced that are similar to the challenges that people with disabilities face on a regular basis. Through this conversation, Johnson hopes it will create a deeper empathy and understanding of the disability community and make our society a more accessible and inclusive place for all.

Johnson was born with Moebius Syndrome, which affects the sixth and seventh cranial nerves and creates facial paralysis as well as other health conditions. It's a dream come true to have the Moebius Syndrome Foundation to ask Johnson to present at the conference.
