The Invisible History of Institutionalization
About this Event

Join Dr. Matthew Wappett, Executive Director of the USU IDRPP, to learn why understanding this dark past is the only way to safeguard our future."Out of sight, out of mind" was once official policy for people with disabilities in the U.S. and without vigilance, it could be again. This talk exposes the sordid history of institutionalization and analyzes the modern political forces threatening to reverse decades of hard-won progress.
