Mr. Horton is an Executive Director and an Accessibility Compliance Specialist for Mayor’s Commission On People With Disabilities in Philadelphia. He first started out as a City Controller for Philadelphia because he was passionate about the Americans with Disabilities Act. He said he moved his way up because of his determination. Mr. Horton specializes in making sure people with disabilities have their rights as well as helping people with disabilities attain self-awareness. He also told me that he is focused on helping people with disabilities live on their own and be entirely independent with the help of specific accommodations they may need. I was not familiar with The Mayor’s Commission on People with Disabilities (MCPD) so I asked him if he could explain what it entails. Mr. Horton told me that it helps the disability community get information on how to get the accommodations they need, information on job opportunities, and housing information. The main point I got from him was that it is a place where they only focus on the positives. He gave me his business card and told me that I could call his office if I needed any more questions or if I needed help with learning about different disabilities. By the end of the day I was happy I volunteered for this event, and I am looking forward to volunteering next year. I enjoyed lending my support and
