Description
"After the regulations passed, there was a big infusion of federal dollars to train people, mainly people with disabilities and other advocates on their rights, their new rights under the ADA," explains Christine Dahlberg. The Disability Rights Education Foundation (DREF) held intensive training around the country. The Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities supported the training by marking sure people with disabilities had the opportunity to attend training sessions.
The Council had a contract with Nancy Griffin to do statewide training on the ADA. Nancy says, “I wrote a grant application to the Governor's Council and seven months later the ADA Training Network was established in Indiana.” There were offices in the northern, central and southern parts of Indiana. Nancy recalls, “We were heavily involved in implementation but, well, were, basically, being sure that folks with disabilities knew what their new rights were, but also that businesses and town halls and whoever, schools, understood what their obligations were under the law.” Christine and Nancy were interviewed at the 2009 Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities Conference.
