| Hello/Intro Different Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. The Americans with Disabilities Act has gone a long way in helping to include people with disabilities in public life. But we don't often hear people speak in their own words about what it's like to live with disabilities. A new book called "Reflections from a Different Journey" is a collection of essays by successful adults with disabilities. They have some advice for parents and doctors. Julie Donnelly spoke to the book's editor, Stan Klein, and two of the contributors. |

What's the biggest FRUSTRATION you've encountered since you've became disabled?

Q NORMA: Segway inventior Dean Kamen has built a wheelchair that can climb stairs, adjusts to uneven terrain, and stand upright.. The census says those over 85 -- are the fastest growing population. Seniors will be joining the ranks of the disabled -- Are you OPTIMISTIC that will put pressure on the market to meet NEEDS of this growing population? As we get older more of us will BENEFIT from laws, regulations, & building codes written with disabled Americans in mind. Q SUE FOX: Northeast Passage at UNH has an "adaptive sports program" -- which integrates those with disabilities into their PADDLING program. Instructors show participants how to compensate for disabilities Q SUE FOX:: When it comes to the population with mental disabilities -- are their needs being met here in NH? What needs to be done to accomodate those with disabilities? Q NORMA RAMIREZ: Are mainstream impresssions of those with disabilties changing? q NORMA: Do people comply with handicapped parking laws. Or, is there a lot of abuse? q NORMA/ SUE: Has the ADA law gone far enuf in improving the lives of people with disabilities? wHAT NEEDS to be done to provide INCLUSION?

Monday December 27, 2004 Different Journey The Americans with Disabilities Act has helped many people with disabilities lead fuller lives. But what is it like to live with a disability? "Reflections from a Different Journey" is a collection of essays by successful adults with disabilities. They have some advice for parents and doctors. We'll hear from the book's editor, Stan Klein, and two of the contributors. Living with Disabilities According to the U.S. Census Bureau, one in five adults and one in two seniors in NH live with a disability. That translates to about 200,000 people in our state alone. In our studio to talk about the challenges facing this population are Norma Ramirez, a board member for the non-profit Granite State Independent Living organization, and Sue Fox, a project director at the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire. Tuesday December 28, 2004 Authors Series Highlights of the UNH Authors Series in which writer and humorist Rebecca Rule talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning author and retired UNH professor Donald Murray. Wednesday December 29, 2004 Women and Prison According to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons the prison population is growing across the country. In 2003, female prisoners increased by five percent, compared to two-point-seven percent for men. A Bedford social scientist wanted to know why. So Dr. Alicen-J McGowan produced a documentary on some of the women at the State Prison for Women in Goffstown. We'll talk to Dr. McGowan. Project Storytime Children whose parents are incarcerated often suffer because of their parents' behavior. The absence of a parent can have a lasting influence on a child's life and learning. We'll introduce you to a program called "Project Storytime" that works with parents who are behind bars to encourage their children's literacy development and promote family bonding. Thursday December 30, 2004 Special Edition: Colonial New England On a special edition of NH Outlook, host Beth Carroll takes us back in time to Colonial New England for a look at living history in real life and on film. Friday December 31, 2004 Favorites of 2004 On another special edition of NH Outlook, we look back at some of our favorite stories of the year. We'll hear from a Hampton man who spoke out about embryonic stem cell research during a visit by John Kerry. Plus, meet a New Hampshire woman who was reunited with her brother after searching for him for 32 years. And we'll have the story of Edra Toth, a former dancer-turned-teacher working her magic with children. |
