I think one of the best ways I could illustrate this is by an example from another realm of law.
Laws and courts are among the most powerful cultural influences in our society. Last month, in the Munk lecture by Harvard sociologist Michèle Lamont, she observed that following the adoption of same-sex marriage laws in 32 American states, there was a significant decrease of suicide attempts among LGBTQ college students. Those students weren't ready to make wedding plans; that wasn't what was going on. They were hungry for validation, and that simple but monumental legislative change was enough to give them hope.
That's how law works. That's how culture works. What you are doing is going to powerfully affect whether people with disabilities in this country see ourselves as welcomed and valued citizens.
Thank you for your question.
