| 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. |

Q SUE FOX: We just heard the numbers What's the mission of the "Institute on Disability at UNH" ? Q NORMA RAMIREZ: You certainly provide a voice for those with disabilities. What's the biggest FRUSTRATION you've encountered since you've became disabled? Q SUE FOX/ NORMA: ADA compliance can be tricky for small communities -- small businesses, historic structures -- often slow to complete ACCESS changes for those with disabilities. That's a fiscal REALITY that's out there. How much of a CHALLENGE has that been in NH? Q SUE FOX: We just heard one of the authors of a book on living with disabilities talk about being INVISIBLE -- and, how that's changing. We now see Actors with disabilities in tv programs & comercials -- And, more children with disabilities are in the classroom. Are we making progress in PUBLIC acceptance of those with disabilties? Q NORMA RAMIREZ: How much has TECHNOLOGY changed the story of Disability? Technology opening up a world of possiblities? Q SUE FOX: Cash-strapped NH has "CUT BACK" on money for developmental assistance agencies. How has that impacted YOUR program? 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? Q PROGRAMS & SERVICES available.WHAT would you want people to know? Where do they go for help? |
