Webinar Objectives:
- Define eugenics and its relationship to the forced sterilization of people with disabilities in the United States;
- Identify instances of bias and discrimination against individuals with disabilities becoming parents;
- Identify successful strategies, including the use of assistive technology, in becoming successful parents; and
