Protection & Advocacy For Peop

Individuals with disabilities have always been present in our society, but until the last 20 years there was no unified movement to guarantee disabled people the legal and human rights all other Americans enjoy. Parents of kids with disabilities bore the burden of coming to terms with their child's unique requirements as well as being a 1st advocate for their son or daughter. Parents had to fight for acceptance in their home communities and change prejudicial attitudes exhibited towards their kids since they were considered different from others.
