General Counsel and Director of Policy
National Council on Disability


As an attorney who has spent my career working to promote policies and laws that expand opportunities for the 54 million Americans with disabilities, I am deeply concerned that the U.S. Supreme Court totally missed the mark last week in three cases construing the definition of “disability” in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Supreme Court has left me and millions of other Americans with significant mental or physical impairments unprotected against egregious discrimination.

Foreword to The Independent Living Movement: International Experiences

Heumann, Judith E.  2003.  Foreword to The Independent Living Movement: International Experiences.
English
In 1949 when I had polio there was nothing resembling the Independent Living Movement. As was the case for disabled people across the US and throughout the world we were not seen as a individuals who could make contributions to our society. We were out of sight and out of mind. Few laws existed which made it illegal to discriminate against disabled people.

The Natural Sciences (biological/medical sciences) have a huge impact on society and within societies the biggest impacts are felt among disadvantaged/marginalized group. Among these groups we can count women, disabled people, ethnic minorities and indigenous people to name a few.
