TAKING THE DIS OUT OF DISABILITY

TAKING THE DIS OUT OF DISABILITY will be a thirty minute program geared toward bringing pertinent information and concerns that impact the lives of nearly 60 million Americans and one billion persons around the world who are physically, mentally, chronically, developmentally and terminally disabled... those who many within society discriminate against, ignore, disrespect and treat in the most cruel and inhumane manner. Some feel that if the person with the disability could just be fixed, through medicine or divine healing, then they will be able to live a purpose-filled life, along-side his or her able-bodied brothers and sisters. We will present a forum that will bring to light the real issues that challenge those within the disabilities. We will discuss whether the American For Disability Act of 1990, has been effective and, if so, to what degree. We acknowledge the continued struggles that people with disabilities face on a daily basis, and will reveal the significant contributions that people with disabilities have made within society throughout history, even until this present age. We will also vigorously dispel every false notion that disability automatically means inability.
