What’s changed 30 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act promised access to education, the workplace, shopping, and more (religious institutions got themselves out of the law)? That’s what our newest series explores.
The Around the World in ADA podcast is hosted by disability advocates Josie Badger and Alisa Grishman. It’s part of the All-Abilities Media Project produced by Unabridged Press and the Center for Media Innovation at Point Park University with support from the FISA Foundation. We’re gearing up for the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 2020.
Josie and Alisa are experts about how life works–and doesn’t–for the 20 percent of Americans with disabilities, due to their lived experience as well as 24-7 involvement in education and action at the local and national levels. Watch Josie’s TEDx Pittsburgh talk here, and read about Alisa here.
