George H.W. Bush Signing ADA on July 26, 1990

2015 also marks the 25th anniversary of the ADA,
Americans with Disability Act. Those with disabilities
are still a long way from equal opportunity when it
comes to independence, housing, and employment.


The Houston Abilities Expo will be held at the NRG
Center July 31, and August 1, 2. I will be signing my
books there. The Expo features a fantastic array of
assistive equipment and services. It also features the
physical and creative abilities of people with disabilities.
