A webinar worth attending

Occasionally I receive an email or announcement that is better than article I could write for the day.  Yesterday morning was such a case.  The subject of the MDA webinar is one near and dear to my heart.  I would recommend that if you have the opportunity, attend the session.

ADA Sign
Knowing Your Rights & Understanding How the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Impacts You
MDA is proud to offer an expert-hosted public webinar series for the MDA community. This installment, “Knowing Your Rights & Understanding How the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Impacts You,” will be hosted by Robyn Powell, disability rights program manager with the Equal Rights Center. Please join us as we discuss the resources, challenges and successes regarding these issues and the laws that protect individuals with a disability.

We highly encourage you to submit your discussion-related questions in advance to advocacy@mdausa.org. They will be submitted directly to Ms. Powell and addressed in her presentation.


As any of my regular readers know, I have written several articles about the ADA and your rights under the ADA.  I feel it is in the best interest of all of us, whether disabled or not, to understand the rights of a disabled person.
