National Disabled Women's Educational Equity Project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Disabled Women's Educational Equity Project was established by Corbett O'Toole in Berkeley, California, in 1980.[1] It was a three-year research and demonstration project.[2] Based at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF), the Project administered the first national survey on disability and gender.[1] It also conducted the first national Conference on Disabled Women's Educational Equity, which was held in Bethesda, Maryland.[3] It developed written materials for educators and counselors relevant to the needs of disabled women and girls.[2] It also developed a book about role models for disabled teenage girls called No More Stares.[4]
