SUMMARY:Virtual Speaking Advocates Training
DESCRIPTION:Interested in writing\, public speaking\, or acting? Art Spark Texas would like to invite you to share your story on the Art Spark podcast. The Virtual Speaking Advocates classes are an updated online version of our Opening Minds\, Opening Doors (OMOD) public speaker training program for adults with disabilities. We combine the art of storytelling with public speaking skills\, so our speakers can bring their stories to the general public and challenge misconceptions about what it means to live with a disability. Class members will have their final story included in future episodes of our Speaking Advocates podcast\, True Tales by Disability Advocates. \nRegister for the class here. \n \nImage Description: Screenshot of a Zoom meeting shows 20 men and women smiling for a photo. They represent a diversity of age groups and disabilities. Below the screenshot is the Art Spark Texas logo along with the text\, “Speaking Advocates Virtual class.”
