Jonathan Young, chairman of the National Council on Disability, said, "Fred was one of the great early pioneers in disability advocacy...the depth and breadth of his knowledge and commitment was surpassed only by the life he lived and the legacy he leaves behind."[2] Frederick Allan Fay, Ph.D., was born on September 12, 1944, and raised in Washington, DC. At age 16, he sustained a cervical spinal cord injury, and started using a manual wheelchair for mobility. At 17, he launched his disability advocacy career by co-founding "Opening Doors," a counseling and information center.[3] Fay attended the University of Illinois, one of the nation's first wheelchair-accessible universities. A few years later, he was a founder of the Boston Center for Independent Living,[4] the Massachusetts Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities, and of the American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities.[5] He was also the leader of the National Paraplegia Foundation, now known as the [https://unitedspinal.org/ United Spinal Association], and established and presided over its first chapter in Washington D.C..[6] The Association still follows Fay’s core principles of self-sufficiency and independent living to this day.[7] Fay worked for many years at the Tufts New England Medical Center, until syringomyelia made it impossible for him to sit upright. For the past quarter century, Fay has worked from his home in Concord, Massachusetts. In the early years, he used a headset to speak and listen on the phone, plus a personal computer mounted on a stand near his motorized bed. He had an electronic workstation suspended over the bed. It was from there that Fay launched the Justice for All forum that compiles and distributes disability rights information to his wide network of friends and allies. One of the continuing visionaries of the disability rights movement, Fay provided ongoing leadership to disability advocates. He was recognized in the movement for his irrepressible enthusiasm and optimism. Fay made a short video with another disability rights notable, Roland W. Sykes, founder of DIMENET. He also appears in the 2011 disability rights documentary Lives Worth Living, where he argues that sheltered workshops should be resisted and that people with disabilities should be encouraged to live their lives independently.[8] Fay died on August 20, 2011, at his home in Concord at the age of 66. He is succeeded by his son, Derick Fay, and survived by a brother and two sisters, as well as his companion Trish Irons and her two children from a previous marriage.[9][10][11][12][13] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.spinalcord.org/news.php?dep=13&page=56&list=897 |title=Spinal Cord Injury Hall Of Fame 2006 Nominees > Disability Activist Frederick Fay |work=National Spinal Cord Injury Association |accessdate=August 26, 2011}} 2. ^{{cite news |first=Bryan |last=Marquard |title=Dr. Fred Fay; helped change society's views on disability |url=http://articles.boston.com/2011-09-09/bostonglobe/30136052_1_americans-with-disabilities-act-concord-home-spinal-cord |work=Boston Globe |date=2011-09-09 |accessdate=2011-09-22 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120516082149/http://articles.boston.com/2011-09-09/bostonglobe/30136052_1_americans-with-disabilities-act-concord-home-spinal-cord |archivedate=2012-05-16 }} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ncd.gov/newsroom/082411 |title=Remembering Pioneering Activist Fred Fay |work=National Council on Disability (NCD) |accessdate=August 26, 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://bostoncil.org/fred-fay-forum.htm |title=Fred Fay Advanced Leadership Forum at BCIL |work= Boston Center for Independent Living (BCIL) |accessdate=August 26, 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/collections/drilm/collection/items/fay_fred.html |title=Fred Fay |work=The Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement, Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley |accessdate=August 26, 2011}} 6. ^{{Cite book|title=What we have done : an oral history of the disability rights movement|last=1954-|first=Pelka, Fred|date=2012|publisher=University of Massachusetts Press|isbn=9781613761908|location=Amherst|oclc=806323339}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.unitedspinal.org/action-center/policy-priorities/|title=Policy Priorities - Disability Policy Issues That Need Attention|website=United Spinal Association|access-date=2019-02-26}} 8. ^{{Cite journal|last=Blaser|first=Arthur W.|date=September 2013|title=Lives Worth Living: The Great Fight for Disability Rights|journal=New Political Science|volume=35|issue=3|pages=538–541|doi=10.1080/07393148.2013.813712|issn=0739-3148}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.concordfuneral.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=4&url=Frederick-A.-Fay-92153697 |title=Obituaries |work=Concord Funeral Home |accessdate=August 20, 2011}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://concord.patch.com/articles/disability-policy-advocate-remembered |title=Disability Policy Advocate Remembered |work=Concord Patch |accessdate=August 26, 2011}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.wrightslaw.com/nltr/10/al.fred.fay.htm |title=Fred Fay: A Life Worth Living - September 12, 1944 – August 20, 2011 |work= Wrightslaw |accessdate=August 26, 2011}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.starkloff.org/wordpress/?p=724 |title=Remembering Fred Fay - Starkloff Disability Institute |work=Starkloff Disability Institute |accessdate=August 26, 2011}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/frederick-a-fay-forceful-activist-for-rights-of-the-disabled-dies-at-66/2011/08/30/gIQAxaxhsJ_story.html|title=Frederick A.
