On the anniversary of the ADA it is not only a time for us to celebrate all of the amazing accomplishments over 32 years but it’s a time to reflect as we all have so much more work to do.

Looking forward to participating in the @DisabilityIN conference virtually. Hopefully next year in person. @JillHoughton @LizTaub always do an amazing job!!
