Media Outlet: 

WHYY’s “Voices in the Family”

A new play in the making, by Temple’s Institute on Disabilities, called A Fierce Kind of Love, brings the history of the intellectual disabilities movement to life, highlighting trauma, resolve, and the milestone successes of parents and their children. Their stories come from oral histories produced by Lisa Sonneborn, project coordinator at the IOD. “We’ve spoken to so many wonderful people who had a significant impact on the intellectual disabilities movement.”
