cde_logohigblock2.jpgThe partners of the Campaign for Disability Employment (CDE), in collaboration with Concepts Inc., are creating a new public service announcement (PSA) focusing on the contributions by youths with disabilities. In 2009, CDE launched the award winning "I Can" PSA highlighting the skills and abilities of employees with disabilities. CDE and Concept Inc. are currently seeking youth participants with disabilities to be featured, and possible scenes in the PSA include:

  • A child (elementary school age) who is blind or has an intellectual disability
  • A child (middle or high school age) with a disability who participates in a sport
  • A child (middle or high school age) with a disability who is involved in student council or other leadership activities
  • A child (middle or high school age) with a disability who is involved in theater/drama
  • A high school student or young adult who works in a non-office environment (workshop, auto shop, retail)
  • A young adult who works in a science-oriented environment (lab, hospital, medical office)
Young adults and youths with disabilities interested in participating in this opportunity should have their parents or guardians (when applicable) contact Concepts Inc Representative Rebecca Skipper at rskipper@conceptspr.com or 202-316-8290 for additional information as soon as possible.
