American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) was founded after five key leaders from the disability community (who were instrumental in drafting, advocating for and passage of the landmark civil rights law, the Americans with Disabilities Act -ADA) met to organize what they believed would be the next logical step for people with disabilities -- creation of a national, non-partisan organization that can and will represent 54 million Americans with disabilities. Joyce welcomes Andy Imparato, president of the AAPD.
