Health care reform has been a topic of discussion both locally and nationally for the past several years, recently leading to passage of the Affordable Health Care Act by the U.S. Congress. The 8th Annual Conference on Health, Disability, and the Law will explore the question of how health reform will impact children with disabilities and their families. Specific presentations by national and regional experts will share the current status of national and state-level health reform activities, including discussion of the impact of health care on families and how we can best advocate for the health care needs of children with disabilities.
