Join us on Thursday, August 4, at 1 p.m. EDT (17:00 UTC) for an interactive webchat discussing the achievements of the Americans with Disabilities Act in terms of sports inclusion, and particularly how those achievements relate to the upcoming 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio. The program will highlight areas where discrimination of people with disabilities still exists and how best to overcome that discrimination, whether in the U.S. or elsewhere in the world.
The panel features Judith Heumann, the special advisor for international disability rights at the U.S. Department of State; Ann Cody, a three-time Paralympian; and Jim Pecht of the U.S. Access Board.
The live webchat will stream to this page.
