SLPA Voices: Redefining What’s Possible in Leadership and Disability

Panel Discussion – Day Two of the 2026 SLPA Summit

May 23, 2026
(REPLAY)

The Day Two Panel Discussion brings together leaders and practitioners for a curated conversation centered on leadership, disability, and professional identity within support roles. Through guided dialogue, panelists share insights, lived experiences, and perspectives that challenge traditional narratives and invite deeper reflection.

This experience is designed to be thoughtful and expansive rather than instructional. Attendees are invited to listen, reflect, and engage with ideas that elevate visibility, advocacy, and collaboration across professional spaces.

The panel builds on the tone set during Day One by offering structured conversation and collective insight, creating space for meaning-making and forward thinking.
