Presenter: Allan Fraser, Kathryn Turner, Jack Hudgens, Kate McCarthy-Barnett, Stacy Everson and Chris Littlewood

This interactive session will feature five experienced panelists who will discuss the primary needs of people with disabilities in each of the five main categories of disabilities which include mobility, vision, hearing, speech and cognitive disabilities. Their perspective will be geared towards an audience of fire service, first responders and emergency managers about what people with disabilities may need from them in the event of an emergency and how first responders can include the disability community in their planning and training. Questions will be encouraged.
