What is the Disability Staff Forum?

We are a diverse group of staff and faculty, with and without disabilities, interested in promoting awareness of disability issues. DSF was established in November 1989 to encourage and involve people to gain support, to gain access, to gain knowledge to explore and develop opportunities for the disabled, and to help people learn more about disabilities. This group is also helping to continue to improve access on campus by identifying and removing barriers.

You are invited to come to join us:

To share your insights and experiences about accessibility challenges
To help advise on ways to improve access for individuals with disabilities on campus
To help provide opportunities for the non-disability community to learn about the diverse disability community at Stanford
To share ideas and resources around emerging assistive technology
To discuss ways to increase the recruiting, hiring, and retention of employees with disabilities
To help build our community by planning disability awareness activities and events

DSF holds monthly social hours and quarterly business meetings throughout the year and we sponsor:

Educational and training workshops
Speaker series and brown bag lunch meetings
Social events and activities
Safety and learning events and trainings
Networking events
