Incredible article by @neelamreports on the importance of and need for Deaf foster parents, guardian ad Litem, and interpreters for child protective investigations. @JudgeWren @stevewright64 @shonnamagee #disabilityrights

Advocates say better accounting of deaf and hard-of-hearing children in the state’s care and better access to translators are needed.

Advice for 1Ls, you say? Don't let law school change who you are. If you are a kind, compassionate soul, don't for one moment let anyone tell you that you need to eliminate those qualities. Keep your humanity: It is desperately needed. #lawtwitter

A federal judge has ruled that Florida has been unlawfully segregating children with complex medical needs and putting other disabled children at risk of unnecessary institutionalization.

The ruling could have sweeping implications for thousands of disabled people across the country who rely on state-provided home health care services.

For almost twenty years, Florida has failed to provide required services to these parents and then told parents that they are incapable of caring for their children. This continues to be indefensible. @AnnaForFlorida @JudiHayesFL @JudgeWren @Justdigit @MarbinMiller

In time for the 33rd anniversary of the ADA. It demonstrates how much further we need to go before the “shameful walls of exclusion come tumbling down.” @JudgeWren @maria_m_town @NDRNadvocates @MarbinMiller #DisabilityRights #DisabilityPrideMonth

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth! @11thCirCOA ADA rule #1 - can’t judge a book by its cover. If you are going to deny a service or program to a person with a disability you better have a good reason to do so. #sharklaw #nsusharks @NSULawCollege @JudgeWren

People who use a wheelchair for mobility need not enter. Every table in shaded oasis at Miami Beach’s brand new Canopy Park has immovable benches/no overhangs to roll up to. NOT how to observe #disabilitypridemonth or #ADA33. @MiamiBeachNews Fix This. #disabilitytwitter
