Judy Huemann, leader of the disability movement, and mother of disability rights, has assisted approximately 1 billion disabled peoples internationally through her life's work towards Disabled Rights. Activist, Author and Podcaster, Heumann's success did not only flourish in the last 3 years of her life, but she built her career from the ground up-- from working as a legislative assistant, to being Washington's first Director for the Department of Disability Services, Huemann created a name for herself beyond her years. Her work with governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profits, and various other disability interest groups, produced significant contributions since the 1970s to the development of human rights legislation and policies benefiting children and adults with disabilities.
