The project addresses the career of Lee Meyerson (1919-2002), who was a Professor of Psychology at the University of Kansas, Arizona State University (ASU), and other institutions, and a founder of the area of rehabilitation psychology. Meyerson had multiple disabilities and dedicated his work to helping people with disabilities, especially children with mental retardation. His career started in the late 1940s and ended in 1990s. Near the end of his tenure at ASU, Meyerson sued the university for employment discrimination under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, our nation's first disability civil rights law..
