Two lawyers with disabilities, who work in alternative conflict approaches, will co-moderate this session, collaborating with recognized resolvers, exploring DEIA efforts and asset-based thinking solutions. Often, forums intended to address conflicts have their own barriers to participation, including a lack of diverse resolvers with disabilities. This session will explore two inter-related topics; accessible and usable physical or online forums and expanding the cadre of  professionals with disabilities who lead the ADR field.
