ED has nearly wiped out OSEP and RSA—offices essential to ensuring students with disabilities receive the services they’re guaranteed under IDEA. Congress must act NOW. Tell lawmakers: Restore OSEP. Protect IDEA.

Disability is not separate from humanity. It's a natural part of the human experience.
Often times, disabilities can be a part of natural genetic variation.
Celebrating our unique experiences makes us stronger, prepares us for a world full of differences, and promotes community and understanding.

It’s book launch day for Kathy Boothe and I! We always celebrate book launches in our house with a “book birthday party” with cake and sparkling juice! My author copies haven’t arrived yet, so we just have a printout of the book cover. But it’s still a party!
