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.

Disability Etiquette: When greeting a person with a severe loss of vision, always identify yourself and those who are with you. For example, say “On my right is Andy Clark.” When conversing in a group, remember to give vocal cues, like saying the name of the person you are speaking to. Talk in a normal tone of voice, i...ndicate when you move from one place to another and let it be known when the conversation is at an end.Read More

Hopefully Jennifer, other people will see and read this. The
public is so unaware of how to talk to a person. Don't look
down at the person in a wheelchair, bend down yourself
to be eye to eye. And don't stare at people as you walk

bit rude. Hope everyone gets the message. Thank U!!!

wisdom, their parents taught them. Goes on and on. :(

Easter Seals When we gather for Thanksgiving next week, most of us will be thinking about dinner, not danger. But what too many people don't know is that each year three million Americans become disabled because of preventable accidents in their home.

Accessing autism services: why a label matters
Describing someone as having autism tells you a bit about that person. But really … what can you tell from that label? Some people with autism require significant support throughout their lives. Others with ASD move through their daily lives independently. Currently there are three categ...

Language and labels — what’s the big deal?
Language and labels are powerful. They convey information, inform society and suggest a particular perspective. Labels that are used to describe individuals with disabilities, when used in other contexts, are often derogatory. Pierre Lellouche, French minister to Europe, did just this when descr...

i liked it. the part i did not like was when the boy in the wheelchair didnt like the stuttering girl w/ hat because she was honest. i think more people should try to understand what its like to be handicapped. i myself have cerebral palsy.

Are autism service dogs smart?
A story in last Sunday’s New York Times ponders whether service dogs help humans because they are smart, or simply because the rigorous training they go through makes them want to please the person on the other end of the leash. The matter of what exactly goes on in the mind of a dog is a t...

Hi, my name is John Hendry and I have been an advocate for persons with disabilities for many years. I am a professional speaker and author. I have written a motivational/inspirational book for parents of children with disabilities (to be published in January) based on the life of my youngest son born with cerebral pal...sy.
Incidently, my son was chosen as the "Timmy" for the local Easter Seals Campaign on two separate occasions. Keep up the amazing work you do on behalf of children with challenges.
