An inclusive education and mindset will more likely lead children and adults with disabilities to a fully inclusive life of their choosing in the community of their choosing and with the peers of their choosing once they enter adulthood.  Choices and actions matter.

Yesterday, we had to get on a tram to get back to our vehicle in the parking lot.  The tram attendant wanted to 'help' by operating my chair.  For my own safety and protection, I had to scream to get the woman to listen.I was not in danger, because my Mom helped and protected me.

The best way to truly provide help to a person is to listen to them, respect them, and honor their request.

Please keep that in mind when you want to help someone who has a disability.

Thank you.

Off-Topic / Richard Marx Concert

Buying tickets online to the upcoming Richard Marx concert is very hard for me.  I feel like I'm playing beat the clock, and the clock is winning.  I guess I will have to call the venue when they open later and buy tickets the old fashioned way, over the phone.

I am so excited.  It's going to be a great show.
