“My Disability Is Only ONE Part of Who I Am!” is the theme for October’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

On Oct. 29, Mary Cliffton from Clallam Country Health and Human Services will discuss how this theme aligns with the mission of her department. This event is free and open to the public.

Cliffton is the lead for Business Leaders Advisory Council and is a Clallam County Health & Human Services Developmental Disabilities case manager. She previously served as the Vocational Services Manager and Disability Case Manager at Goodwill’s Work Opportunity Center in Longview.

During her Studium Generale presentation, set for from 12:35-1:25 p.m. in Peninsula College’s Little Theater, Cliffton explores employment issues for local citizens with developmental disabilities.

She also address the needs of high school transition students with disabilities as they prepare to transition to higher education, vocational training, employment and a complete inclusive life in the community.
