Today I'm on furlough due to the Minnesota state government shut-down, and wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your reflections on living in disability community.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082289864160434959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-57915635244791255982011-07-12T10:31:07.953-04:002011-07-12T10:31:07.953-04:00Dear Dave:

Reading what you have written about how Tess...Dave,<br />Reading what you have written about how Tessa embraced the concept of disability pride makes me wish we had a better way to reach out to all the many grassroots people with disabilities who are still out there who have never really had any contact with the disability community and have never heard of terms like "medical model versus social model of disability" much less the concepts behind them. How do we find them and reach them? How do we help expose them to the concepts that many of us with longer experience in the disability community take for granted, such as the idea that when we are excluded from certain kinds of experiences it is not simply because of their disability but also that others have not designed the environment with us in mind, or have not thought to take the time to include us?<br /><br />I think of the people I have come to know through the cross-disability community, and also within the signing, culturally Deaf community (Deaf with a big D is used by Deaf people who identify ourselves with a cultural community and linguistic minority). Then I think of the people out there who are still isolated from that community, who think it is their obligation to fit in, who may even fear the disability community because they think that joining it will somehow isolate them from the "real world" instead of helping connect them to it. And it makes me frustrated.Andrea S.http://gdrl.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-20771300070065754592011-07-12T02:31:18.968-04:002011-07-12T02:31:18.968-04:00Abiding with you.
