YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) -- The Youngstown State University Disability Club was formed two weeks ago, and Friday evening, it held the first-ever disability conference on campus.
The club and conference were the idea of student and Youngstown native Emily Akers, who has arthritis and scoliosis. Akers noticed there was no place for students with disabilities to ask questions or express concerns, so the club was formed and the conference was held.
"We're making sure all of the services work on campus. We're updating all of the buttons around campus because there are some that don't work or some doors that don't have them at all. We're making sure that incoming students know that there are options and there are resources that they can get set up through," Akers said.
The club has five office
