Protecting the Rights of Persons with Disabilities


Protecting the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

What are some of the laws and programs that protect the rights of individuals with disabilities here in the Commonwealth? Attorney Kati Dean interviews Robert Gray and Julie Triplett from the Disability Law Center of Virginia, which is the state’s designated agency to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. This show covers some of the major laws, court cases, and federal programs that protect individuals with disabilities, and Robert and Julie discuss the work that they do at DLCV, both to help people in individual cases and to bring about change on a wider scale.
