July/August Disability Resource Digest available online
August 16, 2010
The July/August Disability Resource Digest is now online - and this month's is a very special edition.
This issue celebrates the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and highlights numerous stories drawing attention to the important event.
Among the articles is a profile about championing disability in a digital age, a collection of multimedia materials pulled from the vault that document the signing, remarks from President Barack Obama on the state of disabilities and many more.
The DRD also includes non-ADA related pieces on employment, education, government, technology and much more. Particularly interesting is a piece questioning whether Manitoba can afford to not be a fully accessible province, a profile on Obama's order to increase the number of jobs for Americans with disabilities and a news item on Canadian top soldier Walter Natynczyk's criticism of young disabled soldier's spending of compensation.
It also includes an interesting US study on joint replacement and regeneration using stem cells and a human interest piece on a California-based on-campus not-for-profit Baskin Robins outlet that hires students with disabilities to provide life skills.
