Photo Journalist Dan Habib- TED Talk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izkN5vLbnw8
Photojournalist Dan Habib didn't give much thought to disability — until his son Samuel was born with cerebral palsy. In this emotional talk, the disability-rights advocate explains his family's fight to ensure an inclusive education for Samuel, and how inclusion benefits not just Samuel and those who are included, but all of us.
