Amazing Disability Specialist Publishes New Book
Just had to copy into this blog a record of the work of John W. Wilde, a specialist in disabilities who has a tremendous website that is a wealth of information and links to anything most advocates need to be in touch with. Take a look at the recent book just published. I will try to get this at my local library. He published it through eUniverse, a publisher I am not familiar with. Below is a snip from the website he maintains. Tells about the book, the author and there are links further on in this post to get you to his website encyclopedia of Disability Resources.Highly recommended are the links to the history of disability rights: one must know where we've come from to appreciate the full progress and anticipation future triumphs.

The Disability Journey

A Bridge from Awareness to Action
 
John W. Wilde, Ph.D.


The Disability Journey addresses a subject that is at once timely and timeless, since disabilities will always be with us. Inevitably, disability awareness will become increasingly important to our society with each passing year.


An insightful disability resource, The Disability Journey offers the wisdom, insights, and guidance to make your crossing the bridge from awareness to action a reality.


Dr. John Wilde is a counselor and professor, and founder of EDU-QUEST, a consulting company that provides disability trainings for government agencies and businesses throughout the United States.

Submitted Testimony on MiCASSA
To let anyone interested know, I've submitted testimony to the April 7 hearing of the Finance Committe in the Senate re: MiCASSA and the Money Follows the Person legislation. There is a link posted in the sidebar to a copy of this. It is written on behalf of my son, as an advocate parent point of view.


Any Iowa members of ADAPT or NOD or other disability rights groups? Would love to have you comment and write to me at the link to my email.
