Fall 2020 Disability RAPP: The 30^th Anniversary of the ADA

Welcome to the recently renamed and redesigned Disability RAPP. The themes explored in each issue, like this issues’ focus on the 30^th Anniversary of the ADA, inform us and empower us to break barriers and challenge traditional ideas of what it means to live with a disability. We updated the Disability RAPP design to be more accessible in both its print and digital formats.
