On this episode in honor of Disability Awareness Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month, I talk about how disability related to mental health and addiction. I give a brief overview of landmark legislation including the ADA and the Rehab Act of 1973 (50 years of it!) and talk about current issues in the disability community.
