Neuroscience & Public Policy Seminar by Andy Imparato, Esq.

The disability rights movement begins with the proposition that disability is a natural part of the human experience and that society needs to adjust to the needs of people with disabilities so that they can participate fully in their communities with no discrimination. Science sometimes begin with the proposition that neurological disabilities are suboptimal abnormalities that need to be diagnosed, treated and ameliorated with evidence-based interventions. Can these two views live in harmony?
