Tom Rutt of the Spencer Americans with Disability Council tells KUOO news they’re hoping those of us who are fortunate enough not to be disabled take a few minutes to put ourselves in the place of those who are. As part of the observance, Rutt says they’re educating the public, especially young people, about what it’s like to be disabled…(click here for comment from Rutt.)
