Long before LivAbility magazine came along, Ability360, formally known as ABIL published a monthly newsletter. And each and every month, our CEO, Phil Pangrazio would take the time to give his thoughts on current events and things happening at the organization. While always insightful it was no doubt a chore. When this magazine began five years ago, he got a reprieve and now only had to put pen to paper four times a year. As his 20-year tenure at Ability360 comes to a close, we thought we would give him some questions that allowed him to reflect on what he has accomplished. team and even the board, but we always overcame our differences and pushed the organization forward.

  • 1 Judith Heumann – II I Got out to Berkeley, I Think I Had Said Before That I'd Been Accepted at Columbia. So Basically
    Judith Heumann – II I got out to Berkeley, I think I had said before that I’d been accepted at Columbia. So basically what happened was I had taken one course at Columbia and I kept teaching, School of Social Work, and because I was, I was one of the founders and President of Disabled In Action in New York City and so, at any rate, I taught three years in the New York school system and decided that it was too difficult to take classes while I was teaching, so I would go back to graduate school full-time, and then I had been accepted into School of Social Work Community Organizing Program at Columbia and was going to start that program in the Fall of, I think it was 1973, September of ’73, yeah, I was supposed to start school in September of ’73, at Columbia, and then I got a call in the Spring of ’73, from Ed Roberts, who had been one of the founders of the disabled students’ program and was, you know, one of the leaders in Berkeley and, you know, went on to become really one of the well-known icons in the field in the movement, and he called me in the Spring of ’73 and said they, Berkeley School of Public Health and the School of City and Regional Planning, that a professor in each one of those programs had decided that they were interested in recruiting disabled students to the program and, well, he knew of me because he was calling around the country and a lot of people told him to call me, and we didn’t know each other then.

  • Joint Statement on Maintaining the Least Restrictive Environment Requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
    Joint Statement on Maintaining the Least Restrictive Environment Requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act July 18, 2019 Contact: Valerie Williams [email protected] (Washington, DC) – Today, a diverse coalition of professional, legal and advocacy organizations met with Department of Education Chief of Staff Nate Bailey, Acting General Counsel Reed Rubenstein and OSERS Assistant Secretary Johnny Collett to discuss what we considered to be an imminent threat of a policy reinterpretation of the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) provisions, which is a cornerstone of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Our concern was generated by credible information that the Department of Education was planning to alter or reinterpret the law’s presumption -- that all children with disabilities will be educated in the general education classroom; except in the rare circumstance that the student cannot get a satisfactory education in that environment even with supplementary aids and services. Any reinterpretation of LRE would alter or weaken IDEA’s clear requirement that general education must be the first consideration for placement for every student. At today’s meeting, we were assured by Mr. Bailey that there would be no such reinterpretation of LRE in the immediate future, and that the Department of Education (Department) would uphold the law. However, they noted that nothing was off the table as part of the Department’s Rethink Framework. They provided assurances to us that they would collaborate with stakeholder groups and experts in the field, though we made it clear to them that we would oppose any and all reinterpretations of LRE – a basic tenet of IDEA - that could infringe upon the civil rights of children with disabilities.

  • Disability Rights History Timeline
    DISABILITY RIGHTS HISTORY TIMELINE 1817 - The American School for the Deaf is founded in Hartford, Connecticut. This is the first school for disabled children in the Western Hemisphere. 1832 - The Perkins School for the Blind in Boston admits its first two students, the sisters Sophia and Abbey Carter. 1841 - Dorothea Dix begins her work on behalf of people with disabilities incarcerated in jails and poorhouses. 1848 - The Perkins Institution in Boston was founded by Samuel Gridley Howe. It was the first residential institution for people with mental retardation. Over the next century, hundreds of thousands of developmentally disabled children and adults were be institutionalized, many for their entire lives. 1854 - The New England Gallaudet Association of the Deaf is founded in Montpelier, Vermont. 1864 - The Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind became the first college in the world established for people with disabilities. The institution would eventually be renamed Gallaudet College, and then Gallaudet University. 1869 - The first wheelchair patent is registered with the U.S. Patent Office. 1878 - Joel W. Smith presented Modified Braille to the American Association of Instructors of the Blind. The association rejected his system, continuing to endorse instead New York Point, which blind readers complain is more difficult to read and write. What follows was a “War of the Dots” in which blind advocates for the most part prefer Modified Braille, while sighted teachers and administrators, who control funds for transcribing, prefer New York Point. 1880 - The International Congress of Educators of the Deaf, at a conference in Milan, Italy, calls for the suppression of sign languages and the firing of all deaf teachers at schools for the deaf.

  • 1 Judith Heumann
    Judith Heumann - I I think, I’m not sure, but the founding of the program at the University of Illinois is the oldest or the second oldest. I think the oldest is Missouri, Columbia University, Columbia University of Missouri in Columbia, but maybe that’s not before 1948, but what I’ve been told, which is worth nothing, it’s either they’re one and U of I is two, or they’re like very neck and neck. I know that either Tim’s program or the University of Missouri is the oldest. At any rate, they’re both, I think the U of I, frankly, had much more notoriety because of Tim, and this is just ____________ what I’ve heard, and that the program in Missouri, you know, was for it’s time supposed to be a very, and I don’t know any of the names of people. I was born in Brooklyn in 1947; my date of birth is December 18, 1947. I had polio in 1949, when I was eighteen months old. I guess the way I would describe myself is I’m, I’m one of the leaders of the disability rights movement and my full name is Judith E. Heumann. So, I guess, you know, one way to, have you read No Pity?, because I’m in No Pity. _______________________, but it’s a great book. So I had polio in 1949, and I’m the oldest of three kids growing up in East Flatbush. So at that time, I don’t want to say there wasn’t any movement because there were things that were happening, but because I was the only disabled person in my family, there weren’t any other disabled people in the neighborhood, you know, when I had polio, my parents didn’t connect to anything else that was going on.

  • Accessing the Academy: the Disabled Student Movement, 1950-1973
    Accessing the Academy: The Disabled Student Movement, 1950-1973 Lindsey Patterson Civil rights marches, anti-war protests, and free speech demonstrations characterize the historical image of college campuses in the 1960s. A young generation of baby boomers, frustrated by the distance between the Cold War era’s rhetoric of freedom and equality and its reality of unfulfilled promises, challenged university administrations throughout the nation.1 Missing from all the scholarship on student protest are students with disabilities, who began demanding their own rights and accessibility on college campuses. In the 1960s, a new generation of disability rights activists coalesced on college campuses and created institutional change.2 They formed organizations, held protests, and literally dismantled campuses, taking sledge hammers to inaccessible curbs and lobbying for barrier-free environments. The work of this young generation ultimately spread beyond campuses and flourished into a national movement.3 The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, most notably Section 504, for the first time in American history granted civil rights to the disabled. This legislation is a key moment in policymaking and has been regarded as the catalyst of the disability rights movement, which arose to secure the implementation of these rights in the late 1970s. But scholars have not adequately explained the passage of Section 504, attributing it to sympathetic policymakers and the momentum of anti- 1 Terry H.

This is our, believe it or not, last session of our two day celebration of the 30th anniversary of the ADA. It has been a real honor to have the ability to bring together, not only Judith Heumann and Wesley Hamilton, but all of the moderators and panelists that have helped us celebrate this two days. It's been one of the most exciting, impactful things I've had the chance to do in my career as a disability rights advocate. We've had over 1,000 people join us for this two day celebration from all over the world. We've had 22 different states join us. And we've had a lot of international friends join us. So that's been really exciting to have such a large population and breadth of people joining us for these two days. We want to make sure that folks that have been impacted by Hurricane Zeta know that our thoughts are with you. We wish you a speedy recovery. I also want to assure you that you are not going to miss out on this two day celebration. Because these are all being recorded. And they will be on our website Accessible KU, in the near future. So my name is Catherine Johnson. I am the ADA RCA for Resource and Equity Director.

The content is the responsibility of ILRU and no official endorsement of the Department of Education should be inferred. The IL NET is a collaborative project of Independent Living Research Utilization (ILRU) and the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL), with funding from the Rehabilitation Services Administration. ILRU is a program of The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR), a nationally recognized, freestanding medical rehabilitation facility for persons with physical and cognitive disabilities. TIRR is part of TIRR Systems, which is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing a continuum of services to individuals with disabilities. INTRODUCTION Can Independent Living (IL) history be separated from IL philosophy? When I began to write this monograph I thought I would start with the students at the University of Illinois. But as I learned more about that program I realized it may not have existed without World War II veterans who needed an education. How, I then wondered, does one distinguish the impact of World War II on disability history from Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), a President who used a wheelchair and served as commander-in-chief for most of that war? So I chose to begin the history with FDR.
