The disability advocacy community lost a leader & teacher in Rudd Turnbull. His work shaped the field of spec educ & disability law. I’m grateful our paths crossed & to learn from his unwavering dedication to equality & justice. May his memory be a blessing & his legacy continue to inspire us all.

The NIH website is down. Anyone have any insight or information? Do we think it’s coming back, or is all that tax funded research gone forever?
