Self- Advocacy Disability Notes From Today’s Zoom Meeting

Self- Advocacy Disability Notes From Today’s Zoom Meeting

Section 504 says we must have equal access to everything just like everything else.
It came into effect in April 1977 even though the law was originally passed in 1973.
They made a commotion, organized marches, and raised a ruckus.
It took 28 days, but they did.
I think this was absolutely what they had to go into for us to get to where we are today.
Rosa’s Law replaced the “R word with Intellectual Disability.
Lastly, I learned that most of us are still fighting for our rights today.
