Recently I recommended “No Pity” (Joseph Shaprio) and “Nothing About Us Without Us” (James Carlton) to a friend who is blind. I was embarrassed that these incredibly important books are not easily available in formats other than print. Hopefully this problem can be solved now.

Yikes! That is surprising. Did you check out Bookshare.org?

I agree. Yikes! Bookshare.org does not seem to have the titles I mentioned, but they do have “Beyond Ramps” by Marta Russell and “The Ragged Edge” by Barrett Shaw and a few other great books of the Disability Rights Movement, which is awesome. Bookshare.org is a great site.

Wow, one of the best articles I have ever seen that explains that this is a Civil Rights issue! My post-polio husband had all sorts of trouble getting his life-saving chemo and radiation.

We need this passed now--our kids are taking the brunt of the failure of adults to protect them, and even to take their ignorance and frustration out on them..
