Day Williams Al-Mohamed

‘Day in Washington’ is where I hope to continue exploration and discussion of various aspects of disability policy. Each episode will cover a specific issue within disability, that either is or should be addressed by Congress. These short summaries offer an easy to understand introduction to disability policy and resources for those interested in further study.
