This week is the 20th anniversary of the signing into law of the Americans with Disabilities Act. There have been celebrations of various sorts all through the country. This historical law ensures that individuals with disabilities, both physical and developmental are protected in educational and work environments. In addition to these protections, it's important for parents and individuals to learn to advocate on behalf of the disabled to ensure that these protections are implemented. I'm adding a couple of links that discuss advocacy on one's own behalf or on behalf of a loved one.
Remember - DIFFERENT IS BEAUTIFUL!!
