Celebrate a Restored Americans with Disabilities Act!
On September 25th, President Bush signed the ADA Amendments Act into law. This important legislation broadens protections for people with disabilities and restores the intent of the original Americans With Disabilities Act. This success is the result of cooperation between business groups, disability organizations and bipartisan leadership in Congress ... and dedicated Easter Seals supporters who contacted their elected officials. Join Easter Seals' Legislative Action Network to stay on top of important legislative issues that impact people with disabilities and their families.

Myth 9: The lives of people with disabilities are totally different than the lives of people without disabilities.
Fact: People with disabilities go to school, get married, work, have families, do laundry, grocery shop, laugh, cry, pay taxes, get angry, have prejudices, vote, plan and dream like everyone else.

Easter Seals Disability Etiquette: Treat an adult like an adult! Call a person by his or her first name only when you extend this familiarity to everyone present. Don't patronize people who use wheelchairs by patting them on the head...reserve this sign of affection for children.

I have started developing and will direct the Community Placement Program with Western Pennsylvania Easter Seals. Since February 2009 I have had 7 people get the job they wanted and they are all still working. I have a bunch of others I am currently assisting in their job search.
Sara I just found out Friday that I need to have a tendon transfer and a heelcord release for cerebral palsy. I have had the heel cord release twice on my right ankle (once as a child and once again at age 22). But I'm now 34 and I have never had a tendon transfer. I do not even have a date for surgery, just the knowledge it must be done NOW! (next 28 days...) Help...

Courtesy of Easter Seals: Disability Etiquette: When greeting a person with a severe loss of vision, always identify yourself and others who may be with you. Say, for example, "On my right is John Doe". When talking in a group, remember to use vocal cues, like saying the name of the person to you're speaking to. Speak... in a normal tone of voice, indicate when you move from one place to another, and let it be known when the conversation ends.Read More
