For those who cannot read the text on the bottom of the portrait, it reads:
For more than 30 years, David Hingsburger has fought to reduce the sexual victimization of people with developmental disabilities. A prolific author, lecturer and therapist, Hingsburger has campaigned fearlessly for greater awareness of the sexuality of people with disabilities while also coaching individuals with intellectual disabilities how to recognize and deal with problematic sexual behaviour. Hingsburger’s leadership and compassion have made it possible for more Canadians with disabilities to live with the dignity and respect that they deserve.

ReplyDeleteWow, Dave this is a long time coming and well deserved. It is now a must do for all of our staff team to read your blog everyday. You tell it like it is and admit your mistakes and share your successes and tips. When we find ourselves in a challenging situation we will often ask ourselves "What would Dave do or say" If we did this what would Dave say" . Congratulations.

Revel in your accomplishments! Congratulations
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful portrait, and what a well deserved award. Such expression captured in the drawing...
ReplyDeleteI would be very happy if I could surround my daughter with people who, as one of your posters mentioned, asked themselves "what would Dave do?"
What a difference you have made in this world!
That is a nice portrait. It seems they changed the artist in 2003, which is good for you. Those poor winners look like they have splotchy faces. Yours is well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous portrait.
