You don’t want to miss the opportunity to hear from Plenary Speaker, Judy Heumann, a nationally recognized Civil Rights Advocate for people with disabilities! Ms. Heumann’s lifelong work was highlighted in the Netflix documentary Crip Camp, recently nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary feature.
