Distinguished Speaker Series
We proudly launched AbilityPath’s (formerly Gatepath’s) Distinguished Speaker Series in Spring 2018 with the compelling storyteller and anti-bullying trailblazer Lizzie Velasquez. The conversation series is hosted at various locations on the Peninsula. We bring the most relevant, thought-provoking change-makers of our time together to discuss important issues that impact the lives of those with developmental disabilities in California. Topics have ranged from bullying to inclusion and neurodiversity in the workplace.
