disAbilities Expo
Wow! Time flys when you are having fun! The disABILITIES came and went. What took months to plan, was over in a day. And, a good day it was.
On April 10 over 1,200 people visted the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum for the Expo. They participated in sports demos, toured an exhibitor hall over 75+ vendors, took part in workshops, watched fashion shows and heard keynote speaker Laura Stringfellow and met Faith the dog.
The day was like a reunion for some and for others a chance to make new friends. The Expo was awesome. Turnstone was proud to present it and thanks all the people who made its success possible. The Steering Committee was top notch and our primary sponsor, the AWS Foundation was amazing to work with. Also, thanks to the many volunteers, our speakers, models, exhibitors and everyone else - you rock.
Thanks so much for supporting the event!

Desperate Housewives
Every Sunday some girlfriends and I get together to watch Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. I missed tv night last week, so I was surprised to find out that as a result of the plane crash, Orson now uses a wheelchair.
So, for the second week in a row, I am blogging about television and people with disabilities. Both shows have really impressed me in the langauge they have used. Both Glee and Desperate Housewives have used people first langauge and been very respectful of the person with the disability-it's a nice change.
What are your thoughts?

Glee & Wheels
Good afternoon everyone -
Last night I was watching a repeat of Glee I'd not seen yet on FOX. (If you've not seen the show, I personally LOVE it! It's a musical, drama and comedy all rolled into one.) There are many different characters on the show, one of whom uses a wheelchair. Last night I learned that he started using a chair at age 8 after he survived a car accident.
The heart of the story was about accepting people of all abiliities. It was a very compassionate episode and really made you think about accessibility issues people with disabilities face.
Attached is a link to watch the episode. Watch it and let me know what you think.
