Through the Same Door

DN44: One of the central themes of the disability rights movement has always been inclusion. Inclusion in all aspects of life; from housing to participation in community programs and services. Obviously, this includes full access to the same educational opportunities provided to those who do not have disabilities. For Micah Fialka-Feldman this dream began when he was in the first grade. Now, at age 22, Micah is living his dream as a college student in Michigan.
