Micah Fialka-Feldman is a student, national speaker, and pioneer who fights for disability-pride, justice, and inclusion. He is part of the first wave of adults with intellectual disabilities attending college and has been fully included in school and community.
“Micah is an incredibly engaging person, something evident through hearing his speeches and by simply spending time with him. He embodies the true concept of community in his spirit and in all walks of his life. Meet him, and you have the instant opportunity to connect, share ideas, and ask questions with an open door to facilitate true understanding and spark important dialogue. His persistent curiosity and desire to connect with people and the world reminds us all to listen, to be present, to question, and to work diligently making sure that everyone’s voices are always both heard and at the table, opening the door for true inclusion, community, and equality.”
—Barbara Buswell, Executive Director of PEAK Parent Center, Colorado (peakparent.org)“Micah is the new Ed Roberts.”
—Ari Ne'eman, Founding President of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (autisticadvocacy.org) Ed Roberts is considered one of the leaders of the disability rights movement.“Micah shows us all not only what is possible in his future, but what should be possible
for all students. He is charming, funny, and thinks outside the box. He has a lot to each us about what is possible in life.”
