Michael Anderson will tell us about filing and winning an American with Disabilities Act (ADA) lawsuit against the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia to allow Direct Support Professionals to attend events without paying admission when accompanying a person with a disability who needs their support. In his Self Advocate Spotlight Series session, he will discuss:

• Why he filed the lawsuit?
• What happened during the lawsuit process?
• How winning the lawsuit has impacted his life?
• What broad impacts have been seen in Pennsylvania?
• What advice he has on advocating for your rights?
