The Mission of The Disability Information Network is greater INCLUSION in community life for people with disabilities (PWD). My goal is to make that happen through EDUCATION, and increased ACCESS TO JUSTICE. My blog will talk about self-advocacy, civil rights, using and educating the legal system and helping PWD find the benefits and services they need to live happily and safely in their communities. Over the last two decades, there has been an explosion of advocacy and information for the disability community. That community includes people with disabilities, their families, friends, caregivers, and all those who work with them – health care professionals, social workers, educators – and care about them. I am a Disability Attorney Advocate, a woman with a disability, and the mother of three children with developmental disabilities. My goal is to use my experience, at work and at home, to help us all live fuller, richer lives in our communities.
