Sid Wolinsky is one of the nation's leading disability rights advocates and has been practicing civil rights law for over 50 years. Over the course of this talk, Sid will explain the rights you have in multiple areas of your life and what you may be entitled to if you have mobility, sight, hearing or other disabilities. He will offer practical and simple explanations of what the disability laws entitle you to in areas of daily life such as receiving medical care, going to the movies and theater, using public transportation, banking and financial transactions and making your residence more accessible.
