Coronavirus: Remember students with disabilities in a time of crisis
Op-Ed in the Seattle Times by Rooted in Rights Program Directed Anna Zivarts.
Excerpt:
“For students with disabilities, school is often where they have access to physical, speech, mental-health and other therapies. As schools around the nation are closing, disabled students and their families are being left without supports.”
Anna Zivarts is the program director of Rooted in Rights and a low-vision mom who can't drive.
She joined the Rooted in Rights team from Time of Day Media, a digital media cooperative she co-founded in 2010. At Time of Day, Anna produced digital video for the Innocence Project and Fight for 15, and lead searches for the ACLU in Kansas and Wisconsin to find citizens disenfranchised by voter ID laws.
