The National Disabled Women's Educational Equity Project was established by Corbett O'Toole in Berkeley, California, in 1980. [1] It was a three-year research and demonstration project. [2] Based at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF), the Project administered the first national survey on disability and gender. [1] It also conducted the first national Conference on Disabled Women's Educational Equity, which was held in Bethesda, Maryland.
