This week's podcast repost features Judy Heumann. Judy was a lifelong advocate for the rights of disabled people. She played a role in the development and implementation of major legislation including the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disability Act and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
