evidence: During her first year at Yale Law School in the early 1970s, Clinton met Marian Wright Edelman, who helped start the Head Start program and later founded the Children’s Defense Fund. Clinton went on to work with Edelman, interning at the Children’s Defense Fund, where she collected data on children with disabilities. [...] Those efforts by the Children’s Defense Fund, along with the work of other advocacy groups and organizations, eventually led to the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1990. Clinton has since spent most of her career ensuring all children get support.
