Disability Advocates of Kent County

Today marks the anniversary of the American with Disabilities Act, Disability Advocates of Kent County's Inclusion Consultant and Trainer, Jon Cauchi, joins the show to explain the Act and the important role Disability Advocates of Kent County plays in the community.

The ADA was first implemented in 1990, and was the U.S. Government’s first step toward addressing the needs of citizens living with disabilities. We talk to Jon about the local angle, including myths about disabilities and the work that still need to be done.

Shelley Irwin is the host and producer for The Shelley Irwin Show, a news magazine talk-show format on the local NPR affiliate Monday through Friday. The show, broadcast at 9 a.m., features a wide variety of local and national news makers, plus special features.
