Children whose only crimes lay in looking and acting slightly different from their nondisabled peers were sentenced to life in a filthy, reeking room where they huddled naked on the floor in their own feces or rocked and howled in terror or sat slack-jawed and vacant-eyed day after day while a single staff member tried to attend to the basic needs of 50.

Its Los Angeles chapter creates opportunities for people with physical and mental disabilities to participate in running, walking and other athletic events with the help of nondisabled volunteers, or “guides.”

Under the federal statute, disabled students are entitled to services through their 21st year and up until 22 if they live in states like Washington, which offer publicly funded basic education programs to nondisabled adults, such as GED programs.

Until relatively recently, it was uncontroversial to have a nondisabled actor play a disabled role.
