Garfunkel was a special education professor at Boston University and a staunch advocate for the rights of individuals with disabilities prior to her father’s accident. She was one of the driving forces behind the development of the dual degree program in Social Work and Special Education at BU. “One Hundred Steps” will be presented on November 3 at 7 p.m. in the Pi Lambda Theta Room (Room 250) at SED.
