President Obama Engages with Youth with Disabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

As President Obama has so often said, change in America happens from
\nthe bottom up. It happens when people organize, speak out, and have a
\nseat at the table.<\/p>\n

Recently, President Obama met with some youth with disabilities. He
\nwanted to hear their thoughts about the future of disability policy.
\nSo, he sat down with participants from the American Association of
\nPeople with Disabilities internship program. These future leaders
\nspent their summer in DC, interning with various organizations.<\/p>\n

Today, we are pleased to release a video that recaps that meeting.<\/p>\n

These young people are passionate and strong representatives for
\nmillions of people with disabilities across the country. They represent
\na brighter future for America. President Obama is ready to stand and
\nfight alongside them each and every day.<\/p>\n

Kareem Dale, Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy<\/p>\n
