The Arc of Indiana

"I don't know about you, Congressman, but it's important for me to know how to put my pants on every morning to keep my job here," was how John Dickerson paraphrased Congressman John Brademas in a memorable moment. The Congressman from South Bend, Indiana was one of the prime sponsors of historic legislation mandating special education. This video focuses on the role The Arc has played in educating legislative officials about disability issues, a compilation of interview excerpts from John Dickerson and Kim Dodson. John was Executive Director of The Arc of Indiana when he was interviewed in 2013. Kim Dodson had succeeded him in that position when she was interviewed in 2017.
