  • Summary

  • Ben Mattlin is one of my favourite writers to read about disability, disability policy and life with disability. His latest book, Disability Pride, describes how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has changed disability advocacy in the United States and provides snapshots of what disability advocacy and culture looks like today. I was so humbled and grateful when he agreed to be on our show and I hope you enjoy this conversation. Learn more about Ben at www.benmattlin.com Ben references some different pieces of American legislation. You can read more about the history of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act here: https://sites.ed.gov/idea/IDEA-History. The lawsuit Ben refers to where a Florida woman is suing a Maine resort over its lack of ADA compliance is called the Acheson Hotels, LLC, v. Deborah Laufer. Read the New York Times reporting on it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/27/us/supreme-court-maine-disability.html.
