On Thursday, July 14, the White House sponsored a virtual town hall meeting from 1 \u2013 2 p.m. on the issue of disability policy in the Obama administration. The town hall featured top White House disability policy staff, including Kareem Dale, Jeff Crowley, and Rebecca Cokley,<\/a> who answered questions posed from online submissions. The meeting was called to address the questions and concerns of those with disabilities and others in the community. The idea was to emphasize the President\u2019s stance on major disability policy issues, and discuss how the administration plans to address each. The town hall included four major issues: employment, the debt ceiling and Medicaid, community inclusion and youth with disabilities.<\/p>\n
