Musings, ideas, and EGADS! from Kathie and others, but first...
Thanks, ever so much, for your interest in Disability is Natural!
- I hope you'll consider contributing to "The World Would Be a Better Place If..." section, below the fold, on the home page.
- Check out the Your Stories page. Has the Disability is Natural perspective, or simple common sense like I share throughout this website, had an influence in your life? If so, please share—your experiences can be beneficial to others!
- If you haven't already, I'll hope you'll sign up for the Disability is Natural free Newsletter; see the box on the left side of the page.
- I'll be presenting at a variety of different conferences and events in the coming weeks and months...does your event need a Kathie Snow "Disability is Natural" presentation? Click here for more info about my presentations.
- I hope the new ways of thinking in the articles on this site are helpful to you! Please let me know what issues you think need more attention; click here to contact me.
My goal is to share "the positives"—new ways of thinking about disability and strategies that enable people with disabilities and their families to live the lives of their dreams, like everyone else. HOWEVER, there's a lot of #&%$# (negative stuff, in my opinion) happening, too—stuff I wished wasn't happening. So in this section of the website, I'm taking the liberty of ranting about that #&%$#, while also sharing other comments!

I'm getting nervous—in so many ways, we're going backwards. Are you seeing it, too? I've been working in the disability arena for 20 years. Early on, I saw some progress, while also seeing some things staying the same. Later, I noticed some people doing things that are taking us back. But now, it seems things are speeding up . . . in the wrong direction, as detailed in the different "GOING BACKWARDS" commentaries below.
