People with disabilities often start their own business according to speakers at the Participation Through Innovation Workshop (PTI). The day-long workshop was co-sponsored by UIC Departments of Disability and Human Development and the Department of Managerial Studies. Access Living in Chicago hosted the event on Saturday, October 29.
About 30 participants attended small group workshops in Business Development, Marketing and Social Networking. The Plenary Sessions featured Christine Hess from the Abilities Fund and Karen Harris from the Shriver Center. A networking social ended the session.
Materials from the program are available on-line at the PTI website.
