[blindkid] Fwd: [RSA_CONSUMER_ADVOCACY_ORGS] FW: ADA National Network launches Disability Rights Web Course

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Everyone,

I am passing along this information about disability 
law.  Unfortunately, the course does not cover the IDEA, but the laws 
that it DOES cover might also be of interest.
