Disability is Natural Newsletter Library

 

Welcome to the Disability is Natural Newsletter Library!

Kathie, you speak from

your heart and tell us things

we should already know

but haven't thought of yet.

You make a positive difference

in the lives of others.

Thank you from all of us at

Exceptional Persons, Inc.

Jane Edmondson

Staff Development Coordinator

Each E-newsletter includes a feature article, information about new products, a listing of new (at the time) articles on the Revolutionary Common Sense (RCS) page, and other information. Because we change the RCS articles on a regular basis, some of the articles described in the E-Newsletters may no longer be on this site. However, if you'd like a PDF handout version of one of these articles (or one of the featured articles below), send us your request (kathie@disabilityisnatural.com) and include the title of the article when you write.

At this time, only the more recent Disability is Natural E-Newsletters are archived. Prior to August 2004, our E-newsletters were plain text. We'll be reformatting those and adding them to this page in the near future.

When you click on the links below, the newsletter will open in a new window. Enjoy---and thanks so much for your interest in new ways of thinking!

Our words reflect the way we think, so let's get rid of descriptors like "handicapped, physically disabled, mentally retarded, learning disabled" and other words that focus on the condition instead of the person. People First Language promotes dignity and respect for all!
