What's New from Kathie?

I've added a new section on the bottom half of the home page, "The World Would Be a Better Place If..." and I'll be adding to the list on a regular basis, so check back often. I'd like to add your ideas to the list. We can make the changes that ensure children and adults with disabilities live the lives of their dreams!

You know the adage—those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Is a lack of knowing disability history the reason some people are going backwards and repeating the mistakes of the past, such as creating more "special (segregated)" programs, activities, classrooms, etc. for children and/or adults with developmental disabilities? Even if one doesn't know history, it seems that trying to walk in someone else's shoes would stop us in our tracks before creating more segregation. Or couldn't we be guided by the simplicity of the "golden rule"—treating others the way we would want to be treated? If you're interested in learning more about disability history, click here to visit www.partnersinpolicymaking.com.

If you haven't already, I hope you'll sign up for the Disability is Natural free Newsletter—click here to sign up.

In the coming weeks and months, I'll be presenting in Virginia, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, South Dakota, Maryland, Texas, Delaware, West Virginia, Missouri, and New Hampshire. Click here for more info about my presentations.

I hope the new ways of thinking in all 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.
