T. Alan Hurwitz, CEO/dean of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and vice president of Rochester Institute of Technology wrote a Editorial/Opinion in USA Today.

Hurwitz discusses his childhood of struggles as a deaf person of deaf parents, and how the Americans with Disabilities Act has brought change. He writes, “…while it has taken longer than hoped, this law has been successful in enlightening many of those who misunderstand disabilities or whose actions are clouded by prejudice and ignorance.”
