Self-Determination: how to love, but empower your loved one with a disability
Self-determination is a tricky process for people with disabilities because it operates on a continuum. Life is unpredictable, and for the most part–so is disability. But, with self-determination, the person with a disability can regain some level of control and dictate the choices and direction of her life. Self-determination is a concept where a person has the confidence and ability to decide and move forward with the best, next-steps in his own life. Not what you or I think is best, but what they want for their own lives. For many, especially those with disabilities, well-meaning loved ones have in a lifetime of protecting the person with a disability (PWD), have actually kind of sheltered or unintentionally taken control over the life of the PWD.
It's difficult for loved ones, and I understand that better than most. I have been guilty of being a helicopter constantly propelling what I thought was best over the person I love with a disability. It's incredibly challenging to shut that off because you love that person and want what is best for them. I know it may seem like I'm asking a lot for you to back down (or if you are a PWD, to take control)…but please, hear me out.
When I was a special educator, and then a rehabilitation counselor (CRC), I saw many students and young adults with disabilities that had their differences in ability. They had skills that needed more developing, skills they were not capable of displaying, and skills that made them unique assets in the best way. However, those unique-asset skills were often under-utilized because they had not practiced them independently on their own incentive or triggering. For example, they could do really well in an interview after having practiced and trained, but they were going on job interviews below their skill level because someone (though again, well-meaning) told them this job would be "so good for you!" Or, they were not going to job interviews at all because their loved ones were really (and understandably) nervous about them putting themselves out there and taking a massive step towards independence.
The biggest limitation in the life of any person is their own belief that they are limited. Yes, of course individuals (with disability or temporarily able-bodied) have to be realistic. I'm not saying someone who has never dribbled a basketball, or someone who has played in a community basketball league–has the skill to try out for the NBA. But I am asking for you to not make assumptions about their abilities or limitations, because when you assume their limitations, they see themselves as inherently limited. Really sit down with the person, and ask him what he would like to learn. Ask him what skills are important for adults to possess. Objectively think of the many skills he has already learned, and try to compare those to the skills he wants to learn.
I am not suggesting that anyone just shut down and remove themselves out of the PWD's life in one clean break, no longer helping the PWD with anything. It is a process, and of course you will never just be out of their lives–you love them! Nonetheless, self-determination is learned and blossoms in an environment that encourages growth, independence, and inclusion. This is one of the reasons why so many adults with disabilities phase out of the public education system, and wind up under-employed or unemployed. Further, when students learn skills at school relating to independence, they lose those skills if they are not generalized and practiced in the home-environment. And trust me, I completely understand that as a loved one of a PWD you are busy and have many, many responsibilities for yourself and your family. That's why I want to give you some tools and strategies for encouraging the independence of the PWD so that maybe it can at the same time lessen your work load and empower your loved one.
It is difficult for many people without disabilities to break down the appropriate steps in fostering and empowering independence in a PWD. Every person is different, but here is an example of how one could foster the self-determination process in an adult with a disability (Also: You can reach out to someone who works in this field–like me!–if you want guidance on appropriate steps for a specific person…again, progress is a continuum with steps forward and steps back, and that is okay. This does not have to happen overnight!).
Self-determination skills: Determining food choices
- Watch a cooking show on tv that discusses nutrition and healthy eating
- Practice cooking simple meals in the kitchen with the PWD, emphasizing safety and nutrition (boiling water for pasta, making pasta, cleaning up after making pasta, with canned sauce)
- The PWD cooks on his own while the loved one is not overseeing, but is in the general area in case the PWD has a question
- Show the PWD where to find coupons, and discuss how much food really costs
- Watch tv shows about the health effects of not eating nutritious (but don't be too scary about it, especially if the PWD is someone who can get easily overwhelmed or experiences severe anxiety–in this case you can discuss food choices in terms that are not so daunting with regards to the health consequences)
- Have the PWD go to the grocery store with you and have him hold the list (if possible, have him read and check off the list as you go–if he is not able to read, that's okay too! You can sit with him and go through grocery store inserts, pamphlets, magazines, coupon clippings, etc. Just cut those pictures out and make the list out of pictures. You can even draw the pictures!)
- After practicing #6 a few times, and if he is safely independent in public (as in, won't go with strangers, won't give his money to strangers, isn't a harm to himself or others), bring him to the grocery store and have him gather the food on the list while you wait at the front of the store with a book/magazine
- After practicing #7 a few times, practice money skills. Discuss pricing of food and different ways you can make payment. Go through #7 and at the end of each time you shop, have the PWD give the money for payment to the cashier. If the PWD gets nervous, that's normal. You can go at times when the grocery store is less busy, or teach him how to use the self-checkout line, but ultimately practice will help him feel more comfortable.
- After practicing #8, and if he is safely independent in public, bring the PWD to the grocery store and wait in the car as he shops for the food on the list, and pays on his own.
- Have the PWD make the grocery list on his own, check it over to make sure it covers essential items that are financially-responsible choices.
- If not yet learned, teach the PWD transportation options like the bus. Public transportation systems have disability-accessible bussing but the more inclusive the better (again, depending on the actual, realistic abilities of the PWD). A PWD should live and operate in the least restrictive environment as appropriate. It may take time, and it will be a little daunting for both you and the PWD, but that is a normal part of growing up and in time and with practice, he could gain much independence and allow more free time and balancing of responsibilities for you and your household.
- Have the PWD look up transportation options on his own, and then schedule it on his own, go food shopping, pay, and return home on his own.
- Combine steps 1-12.
Again, this is just a generic example. Some of these steps can be combined or adjusted if the PWD is more advanced, or they can be broken down even more. I've broken down the process of making a PB&J into nearly 60 steps before for a client with a disability. The most important thing is that we don't just give up and do something for a person with a disability simply because it's the easier and quicker thing to do. Sure, there may be days when you do not have time to pre-teach, teach, and re-teach. When you do have time though, the best way you can love a PWD is by loving their independent drive and spirit. After all, you cannot and will not always be around and in times of need the PWD should feel competent to do as much as he is capable.
This post does not come from a place of judgment. I've been there, personally and professionally. I know what it is like to see a loved one go through something difficult and have to maneuver life-changes after the fact. This is just guidance on a tricky part about loving a PWD, and as always I am here if you have any questions! Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Autism Awareness Month: Tips for Sharing while Caring :)
Happy Autism Awareness Month!
Every year around this time I get the joy of seeing many of my friends and family sharing their enthusiasm and interest in disability advocacy and it warms my heart and makes it grow at least 10 times. With that said, there are some things I want people to keep in mind when they want to share their support for those on the autism spectrum.
- Keep in mind person-first language. Someone is a boy/girl with a disability, or a boy/girl with autism, or a boy/girl who is on the autism spectrum. It is not okay to refer to someone as "autistic" unless they say it is okay to do so. The reason behind this: a person is not his label. He is a person, first.
- Be aware of the organizations you are promoting, and their main messages. There are many organizations who have done wonders in increasing awareness about autism but some of the most well-known autism organizations do not sit well with people who actually have autism. The reason behind this: there are major organizations that have an autism focus, that focus on researching to find a cure for autism. To my students, clients, friends, and family on the spectrum this comes across like an insult. One of my prior counseling clients put it best when he said, "saying I need a cure is saying there is something wrong with me. I'm not like everyone else, but just because I'm different doesn't mean being me is wrong."
- Showing your support on-line and through social media is awesome. Including people with autism in your day-to-day life is even better. Take steps to make your clubs, businesses, organizations, parties, and events inclusive to people with disabilities. If you need help with this, shoot me an email!
- Keep an open mind. People present any difference or disability in a unique way. For some, you might be very surprised to learn they have a disability. For others, their disability may be more apparent. It doesn't mean they deserve more/less support or more/less understanding. Autism (like most differences and disabilities) operates on a spectrum and is unique to the individual. There is no right or wrong way to present your differences, but there are ways to help someone with a disability to acclimate to a new job, school, or social group. There are also simple ways to show patience throughout your daily life with strangers because as the old saying goes: "you never know what someone may be going through."
- Children with disabilities grow up to become adults with disabilities. There are so many wonderful resources for people with autism and other disabilities, and I encourage you to look into great programs for adults who are on the autism spectrum. In Michigan I have worked with the BOND Program at Michigan State University, ASPPIRE, and other amazing transition and vocational programs for adults who have autism. There is such a need for more support of these programs. People with autism can be capable, hard-working individuals that light up their communities and make contributions socially and vocationally. Show your support for continued growth and opportunity by contributing to these programs!
With all that said, I am eternally grateful for the disability awareness taking place this month and as always commit to spreading awareness year round. Light it up blue!
Thanks for caring and sharing 😊

"I Can and I Will:" accessibility on Fixer Upper
For a family that consists of a person with a disability, accessible housing is often at the forefront of their minds but unattainable until their wallets catch up with their needs. In a world that is still largely built for the typically able-bodied, it is challenging to find a house that is accessible. When you can't move freely around your home, can it really feel like a home?
A couple of weeks ago on the television show Fixer Upper, Chip and Joanna Gaines worked with the Tim Tebow Foundation to renovate a house for the Copp family. The Copps have two young boys, Calan and Lawson, who use wheelchairs for mobility. After Tim Tebow meets with Chip, the show catches steam with Chip, Joanna and Tim meeting the Copps at a baseball diamond. I loved how the boys were shown playing baseball and being active. So often when shows involve people with disabilities and it has a charity angle, they tend to make the people with disabilities look needy to garner sympathy for the people with disabilities and pride for the charity. It was nice showing how empowered and able the boys are, as it showed them doing a typical but cherished childhood activity. It also shows how with the right accessible technology and equipment, people with disabilities can do the same activities as the temporarily able-bodied.
As the episode goes on, Joanna shows the parents the mock-up of the renovations they want to complete for the house. Some accessible aspects of the home: ADA accessible bathrooms with lowered sinks and mirrors that tilt so they can provide a lower angle for the sons who sit lower to the ground in their wheelchairs; a separate lower sink in the kitchen; a table that allows users of wheelchairs to pull right up to it height-wise; hallways wide enough to have wheelchairs pass through without it being too tight; ramps to get in and out of the house; posts and handrails that allow the boys to stand, move and play; and wheelchair-accessible van storage space. The show also highlights an inspirational message in one of the rooms to encourage the boys to continue to grow (*hint* it's in the title of this article).
This show really exposed the needs of a family that includes people who use wheelchairs. I loved the overall feel of the show. It was a feel-good episode for sure, but it had a very empowering angle. Without giving away spoilers, the show ends with the boys receiving a remarkable backyard that allows them to use their space to their maximum ability and desire. The show brings about an important issue though—a family that has a person with a disability has an unending amount of expenses. Too often, people with disabilities are forced to "make it work" in an environment they were living in prior to acquiring a disability—even if that environment is unsuitable or completely unworkable. A father who uses a wheelchair shouldn't have to eat in the living room because the dining room table is too short/tall for his wheelchair to fit. A person with a disability shouldn't have to be carried around their own house when they have the independence through the use of assistive technology to move around on their own. While the Tim Tebow Foundation did a wonderful thing in funding this renovation for the Copp family, the vast majority of families that have a person with a disability in them are forced to pay large amounts of money with or without insurance, even with assistance from government or other financial-assistance programs.
This is why accessible buildings, homes, and other structures must become the norm as opposed to the exception. We must continue to advocate for accessibility, and for reasonable pricing for making a home, car, or other device/structure accessible. Being able to navigate this world with a disability should not be considered a luxury—it is a right. I for one am grateful for shows like Fixer Upper for showing this angle of living with a disability.
Thank you,
Ashley Jacobson, MA, CRC

Person-first language (and the "R word")
In a culture where there is a clear divide between those who just want to "stop being sooo politically correct" and those who want to make sure they are being respectful, it can be challenging to know what to say (and what not to say). It becomes even more of a challenge when you are attempting to talk about a population of people or a person in particular, and you are not 100% sure on the right terminology to use.
So, hopefully this post will clear things up a bit when it comes to discussing a person with a disability and why this topic matters.
So first—why does what you say matter? Language is one of the most significant indicators of emotion. Language dictates how you process the thoughts, feelings and actions of another person in your brain. Language is used in gathering your perception of others and your environment.
Language directly affects how you treat others, because it demonstrates how you think about them.
Historically, people with disabilities have been (wrongfully) perceived as weak, pitiful burdens in our society. From the "handicapped" label first used to describe homeless veterans with (what we now know as) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, who were sitting on the street with their "caps in hand" asking for money, to the middle-schoolers (and many adults) using the "R word" to make fun of their friends when they are acting stupid, our society has made it very clear that it was deemed socially acceptable to stigmatize people with physical and mental differences.
I have worked with the disability community for over a decade. In seeing many challenges my clients faced involving the legal system, I decided to go to law school. I am a law student, and I complete my studies this August. In my current law school program, which I have loved, I have encountered professors, classmates and administrators who (knowing our school has students with disabilities in attendance) talk about people with disabilities like trash. A professor in a class I greatly enjoy, in response to me saying I want to represent people with disabilities, said, "Oh, you want to represent the meek and pathetic." To which I did not hide my shocked expression as he quickly moved on to the next topic.
I have many professors who are socially conscious, and respectful towards students and other people with disabilities. But, I also have heard professors refer to accommodations as "special treatment" and refer to people with mental illness as "crazies" while rotating their index finger in a circle next to their head. These are accomplished, intelligent, highly-educated professionals. Yet still, training on disability appropriateness and inclusion has not been emphasized in their studies. These are attorneys and professors who represent and teach people with disabilities on a daily basis, even if they don't know it. They aren't bad people. They're just misinformed and desensitized based on societal conditioning that people with disabilities aren't worthy of respect.
This stops right here, right now. It never was, and never will be acceptable. This is not a recommendation, but a requirement. This is a heads-up that what you say matters, and if you use offensive language you won't be accepted, and it isn't cool.
Over 52 million people in this country have been diagnosed with a disability—over 2 million people in Michigan (where I live).
Disability is part of the human experience. It's not grim, but it is the truth that at some point in your life you will have a disability. If you haven't yet, it could happen tomorrow or in 20 years. But you cannot deny that at some point, as you age, you will face trauma and change, physical and emotional. In living life, you are putting your body in a position where it wears down over time. You will experience unpredictability in your life and you will have to learn to accept it, adapt to it, and thrive with it.
In that moment, when you are likely dealing with extreme physical and emotional changes, and grieving over abilities lost and limitations imposed, would you want to be insulted or would you want to be respected? You wouldn't want people to categorize you as a burden, or incapable, or unworthy—because you are not any of those things simply because of a physical or emotional disability.
You'd want to be seen as a person, first and above all else.
This is where the person-first language shift began. The disability community and its advocates decided that someone needed to display how to appropriately talk to and about people with disabilities.
First, you call the person by his/her name. If the disability is not relevant to the conversation, it is not necessary nor appropriate to attach it to your description of the person.
When disability is relevant to the conversation, use person-first language. Instead of saying "disabled man" say "man with a disability." Instead of saying "schizophrenic" say "woman with schizophrenia." It takes practice to get in the habit of using the right phrasing, but it's important. You are literally and semantically putting the person first. This emphasizes that person, their abilities, and their individuality over any disability that might follow.
Person-first language should be your foundation. If the person with the disability prefers you to use other language or phrasing, always comply with what language they feel comfortable with, but NEVER use the "R word."
Let's talk about the "R word" for a minute. The word "retarded" was part of a clinical diagnosis (mental retardation), that our society deemed an insult for someone they perceived as stupid, irrational, or ridiculous. So, our society decided to use this part of the clinical diagnosis, not toward those with a diagnosed intellectual disability, but instead towards people without disabilities as a way to criticize or ostracize them.
Because our selfish, rude, and ignorant society twisted this clinical diagnosis into such a horrendous insult, the word lost its original meaning completely. The word became a weapon instead of a condition. A simple word began to carry so much hate and stigma in its delivery, that this large community of people with disabilities had to actually protest and advocate that medically and legally the word be removed.
To anyone out there who responds to a request to stop using that word by saying, "but technically I am right, because that's what doctor's use," you're wrong. You're also (likely) not a doctor. It is not used in laws, textbooks, nor in practice. You have a brave girl named Rosa to thank for that. Rosa's law was passed in 2010, and if you want to read the actual law that was passed, you can find it here.
Rosa was a strong, smart, driven young girl who decided that she was tired of being made fun of, and tired of others using the "R word" to make fun of others. With the support of many senators, representatives, and public advocacy campaigns, Rosa took this change in language into her own hands and asked the government to remove the "R word" from its laws. Rosa was successful in achieving this goal, after "Rosa's Law" was signed and approved by former President Barack Obama in 2010. Additionally, after seeing the mess that was the movie Tropic Thunder, the "Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign spread the message that using the "R word" to make fun of someone in the media and socially is unacceptable.
Most importantly, if you are wondering other reasons as to why you should not use the "R word" besides it being technically incorrect, offensive, and ignorant, you just shouldn't use it because people with disabilities don't want you to. It's that simple. Be a decent human being to other human beings. You will someday be in their shoes, and you'll want someone to show you empathy and respect when that happens. But even if you are the rare exception that is not going to have a disability someday, it takes more energy to spread hateful language than it does to just be decent.
For these reasons, you also want to be really aware of how you perceive people with disabilities. This is where it can get tricky for many people without disabilities, because you may not be using words that you find to be offensive, but you are inadvertently mislabeling or stereotyping a person with a disability.
You may mean well when you say someone is "inspiring" simply because they are living with a disability. But when you say that someone is inspiring for doing things that a person typically does each day, it's more than a little condescending. We know, you are acknowledging that there may be more things a person with a disability has to do to achieve the same results you can in your day-to-day activities. But when you say that someone is "inspiring" or "overcoming her disability" in doing typical daily functions, you are also sending the message that her life is so awful and unimaginable, that she must have to overcome her horrible circumstances. Don't be patronizing. Be respectful.
What does it boil down to? People with disabilities don't want your pity or sympathy. They want your respect and empathy. When you say someone is "suffering with…" or "overcoming…" or "confined to/by…" you are invoking feelings of pity, your inclination is to feel sorry for that person. It's like saying, "his life is so awful, he is suffering/overcoming/confined by his disability."
Instead, you can use (when the disability is relevant) "sustained a brain injury," "diagnosed with…" or "living with (insert disability here)." This language normalizes disability, instead of dramatizing it. Disability may be part of that person's life, but it's not their whole life and it certainly is not who they are. People with disabilities adapt to their differences, or even utilize their differences to become successful.
I appreciate those who have stuck with me here. This is a good cheat sheet I use in many of my presentations:
Also, keep in mind that certain disability populations take pride in their label because they do not see it as a stereotyped label but instead use the term as a way of indicating a community of like-experienced individuals. Person-first language should always be your starting-point—your foundation. As I stated earlier, if the individual states he wants you to refer to him in another way, it's okay to refer to that person using the term he has provided. Always start back at these guidelines though with new people that you meet.
Thank you for caring and sharing.

Appropriately assessing a situation involving a person with a disability
Following my last post, you may be wondering, "so where can I start?" Start with changing your instincts in how you assess a situation. When you see someone crying, screaming, losing emotional control, are they hitting themselves? Are they repeating certain phrases over and over? Are they disoriented or confused about where they are or who they are speaking with? Are they using the same language repeatedly when asked questions, showing frustration in not being able to explain the situation? Are their sentences disjointed and shortened?
Of course, as people with disabilities are people first above anything else (and I'll be diving deep into person-first language soon), they are just as unique and individualized as any other person on the planet. But, if you take the time to quickly assess the situation BEFORE responding, you might see common indicators of a disability. And your best bet if you cannot tell—ASK. You don't have to outright ask if the person has a disability. Talk to the person in a calm voice. Ask them what's going on, if they need any help, what they are feeling, what they need.
However, (and I cannot emphasize this enough) do not ask them more than 1 question at a time. It sounds simpler than it is. In everyday communication, we rarely ask one succinct question and wait for an answer. It's conversational to ask, "How's it going? What's going on?" or "What's your name? Can you tell me why you're upset?" But to many people with disabilities, before they can answer the first question, throwing another question at them only diverts their attention in a different direction and can quite literally block their brain from processing the information they need to give to respond to any of your questions.
Ask these questions before approaching them. Ask if they need space, and if they do, have an area they can safely go while the situation is being resolved.
Above all else, don't threaten. Don't say "do this, or you can't leave," or "if you don't do what I say, I'm taking you to jail." Those statements may be the truth, but you are much more likely to de-escalate and solve the problem at hand quickly if you try to remove the tension from the situation. Some people with disabilities can be susceptible to extra anxiety and vulnerability. They may not be physically or mentally capable of doing what you are asking, and when they realize this, and cannot communicate that to you, it can escalate the circumstances until everything spirals out of control. Always listen, and not just to verbal cues but nonverbal ones (hand motions, facial expressions, guarding behavior, rocking, etc.). These are small but monumental changes to your approach that can really make a difference.
There are always emergencies that are to be handled differently—but make sure you are correctly identifying the situation as a real emergency. It may not be as urgent as you initially believed once you follow the approaches I've given above. Take the time to listen, and provide alternative methods for communication. If the person is not responding to you, ask if they want to write down or type what is going on. Provide an interpreter or translator whenever possible. Ask if there is someone you can bring to help explain what is happening. Your conventional methods for how you communicate or respond in a situation are not everyone's and they may not even always be the best way to respond. Be open to differences and you'll be more likely to correctly assess the situation.

Disability and Incarceration: The Facts
One of the most devastatingly apparent indicators of how our treatment of people with disabilities affects a community is found when analyzing the number of individuals in jails and prisons that live with disability. A 2015 report from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Bureau of Justice Statistics found based on a National Inmate Survey, of those who disclosed, 32% of prisoners and 40% of jail inmates reported living with at least one disability (affecting their hearing, vision, cognitive processes, ambulatory skills, self-care, independent living abilities, or otherwise).* Of those who disclosed their disabilities, most respondents identified as having a cognitive disability.* Cognitive disabilities typically affect an individual's processing, problem-solving, memory and/or attention skills but range from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) to Down Syndrome.
Putting that information into context of our legal system, think about how truly difficult it would be for a person with a cognitive disability to navigate the legal system. How can you understand your rights if the words being used aren't in your cognitive arsenal? How can you find an attorney, or decide on a deal or legal approach if you're ill-equipped to problem-solve? How can you hear all of your options if your brain redirects your focus in the middle of the discussion with your attorney, the police, or others involved in the process? How can you convey to the police or your attorney the legal issue at hand and the situation you are in?
This report raises questions as to how we can appropriately explain a person's constitutional rights in a way that they will really understand, how we interpret what the person is relaying to us about events surrounding the legal issue, and how we implement appropriate representation, services and sentences.
This is not to say that there are no people with disabilities who should be held accountable for their crimes. This is also not saying that people with disabilities are prone to committing crimes. Rather, this is indicative of systemic deviation—deviation from services, supports, resources and evidence-based strategies towards mass incarceration of a population that could be highly receptive to rehabilitation, or could include those actually innocent. Instead of channeling people with disabilities through the appropriate channels or services, we are making assumptions and rushing them through the criminal justice system.
Further, our system assumes not only that people understand their rights, but that they are literate. There are individuals signing their names to documents of which they have no understanding because their literacy skills are limited.
Now consider a couple of other important facts. From this study, 13% of prisoners and 16% of jail inmates reported multiple disabilities.* Now we aren't just having to balance the analysis needed for one disability but for co-occurring disabilities. Also, there is a real possibility that many with disabilities did not disclose, whether out of choice, lack of formal diagnosis, or lack of understanding about their diagnosis. The U.S. Department of Justice Report found that men were less likely to report their disability.* Further, based on the shame and stigma surrounding disability historically, mental illness tends to be reported even less. As a special educator and counselor I frequently encountered adults young and old that knew they were different, but had no idea what their disability diagnosis was or that they were even diagnosed with a disability. Because our education system places so much of our disability efforts in the hands of the teachers and parents, and because those individuals are understandably constrained by time and finances in providing an explanation to the students or children, I have frequently encountered adults who have limited understanding in the diagnosis that affects their daily lives. This is a systemic issue, but also a self-determination issue.
Self-determination is an underlying main focus of disability professionals. Self-determination entails a person with the disability being able to understand his reality in living with disability, and to have the power to assess the situations he is in and make decisions on his own behalf. Self-determination skills are the most important skills acquired by individuals with disabilities because it increases their independence, and acknowledges that more often than not people with disabilities are better equipped to speak on their own behalf about where they are at and what they want for their future. As a disability professional, this was always in the back of my mind. However, with caseloads and classrooms brimming with clients or students, and resources limited more and more each year, sometimes it is easy to fall into the pattern of getting through the day to day. How can we think about the future when we are trying to get through the "here and now?" So, while self-determination should always be the underlying concept in any program for people with disabilities, too often children with disabilities become adults with disabilities who do not have a clear understanding of their diagnoses.
So that's the bad news. Here is why you should care. First, under the United States Constitution and based on every precedent-setting court decision since, people are entitled to certain rights and protections under the law. There are due process and equal protection rights on a federal and state level ensured to all citizens—not all citizens except people with disabilities. We should also care because the incidence of disabilities being diagnosed is on the rise. We are learning more and more about different disabilities and conditions, but yet aren't using that knowledge to adapt within our communities. Everyone knows someone close to them with some type of disability, or is a person with a disability.
Let's say someone you care about has a disability–
Imagine that person calls the police for help, but cannot convey what is going on because of a cognitive or communication impairment and winds up getting arrested because they police assume they are drunk and disorderly.
Imagine a close loved one with an autism diagnosis on their worst day, spiraling emotionally out of control, who just needs space from the crowds that are surrounding you out in public. A police officer approaches and the situation escalates because the person cannot follow the strict orders yelled at them in a moment of chaos. Because they are not obeying and they keep attempting to avoid the officer, they are arrested.
Imagine a young man with Down Syndrome, who has worked incredibly hard to get a job he is more than qualified for, only to be accused by other workers for stealing because the coworkers believe people with disabilities are an easy target for blaming mistakes or missteps. The police arrive, and despite this man having a guardian, the police question him alone. Unaware of his support, of his protections, of his rights, of the possible next steps, the man winds up in a whirlwind of overwhelming questions creating stress and anxiety so severe he cannot finish his shift, despite really needing the money to pay rent.
Imagine a child in a classroom for students on the autism spectrum. They are only in elementary school, but are spending time in a resource room for a little extra assistance in learning the material for the day. But the schedule changes unexpectedly, a change this child really doesn't like. He starts hitting himself and throwing things, and the school's security officer restrains him for a lengthy period of time. He is restrained in his hands and legs, and is told if he just stops moving he will be released of the restraints but because of his disability, he is unable to comply to the demands and ends up being restrained for a lengthy period of time, in front of his classmates and teacher. He now is scared to go to school, and has a meltdown every morning to the point where he is physically sick.
I don't have to imagine these events, because they happened (many of which I witnessed first-hand). You should care because it's happening more and more, and will likely happen to someone you care about. You should care because it might even happen to you. You should care because people with disabilities are more capable today than ever of being successful within their jobs or careers, and support their own families—they have jobs and families that suffer when they are misunderstood, fired, or arrested.
There are several ways that people with disabilities can be better served in their communities, and in return how communities benefit from providing equal rights and opportunities to people with disabilities. The most fundamental way to best serve people with disabilities (and, in turn, the community as a whole) is to provide people with disabilities their full rights under the law. Additionally, officers of the law, teachers, administrators, and community members need to adapt their techniques in order to appropriately assess and resolve any situation without the need of any escalation.
Lately I have been providing trainings to different offices that deal with these types of situations with the goal of not pointing fingers but instead providing simple techniques that can completely change the direction of these scenarios. The focus cannot be on controlling the situation. It must be on appropriately assessing, in order to attain de-escalation (which has the end effect of controlling the situation).
My next post will discuss different approaches for correctly assessing a situation involving a person with a disability in detail, so if you care about the issues I've presented from the report mentioned above, please stay tuned!

"Wait momma! Slow down!" Growing up just off the main street businesses in our small town, we often walked a block or two when we needed to go to the store or post office. I remember well my brothers and I trotting down the sidewalk with our mother. She happily strode down the sidewalk with all of us hurrying after her.
We also enjoyed walking on the trails at a nearby state park or on family camping trips. Walking is a good way to get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and stretch our legs. It provides opportunity for time alone to enjoy the quiet or to contemplate life as well as time for companionship and conversation with friends or family.
I think of the time Jesus spent with his disciples and other followers. Living in Capernaum, he walked along the shores of the Sea of Galilee and he often walked to quiet out-of-the-way places to pray. As they traveled, can you just imagine them walking through those hills and valleys and stopping in small towns and villages along the way? *
More than just physically walking, "walk" is often used to describe "living." Walk in his ways. Walk with integrity. Walk in darkness. Walk in the light. Walk in wisdom…
As we "walk," we choose where we will go and who we will follow. Our walk reflects our values and our character. We choose to walk with others or to walk alone.
I think about my own life, where I have walked in the past and the path I am now following. My prayers are that I will walk faithfully, doing my best to show by that walk the great love of our Creator God. Wherever we find ourselves, may our walk be a daily reflection of Him.
* Matthew 4:12-13, 18; Luke 6:12
Cool touch of dew on morning's grass
Soft breeze stirs leaf and bough
Tread of foot and word of greeting
Hoes in hand and hats for shade
Bark of dog and back door closing
We make our way to tend summer's garden
Bare toes in earth's fresh soil
Soon may seek shoe's insulation
Sun is rising as weeds are cleared
Call of mourning dove quiet pleasure
Accompanies day's song of life
Lawn mower thrum and tractor rumble
Rasp of blades and rip of grass and weed
To free tender promises hidden in their midst
Thoughts and dreams of summer's bounty
Rhythmic movements lift and fall
Another row completed now
Heat and sweat are well repaid
Cool glass of water to quench our thirst
And splash upon warm faces
Times we share in our summer garden

How to French Paint Furniture
Transform your ordinary wood furniture into French flea market-style "antiques" with a bit of paint and simple finishing techniques. According to Better Homes and Gardens magazine, French-style decor is characterized by elegance mixed with rustic details and distressed surface finishes. Typical French country colors include soft shades of blue, yellow and white. French-style painted furniture adds warmth and charm to contemporary decor. It's easy to do, inexpensive and a perfect way to recycle old furniture.
Step 1
Select a piece of wooden furniture to paint–either from your own home or from a second-hand shop. It doesn't need to be antique, but the shape of the furniture is important. Anything with carved details and curved lines will look more convincingly like French antique furniture.
Step 2
Remove the hardware–knobs and pulls–if you plan to replace them. If not, cover them with painter's tape. If you're painting a chair or other piece of upholstered furniture, remove the upholstery or cover it with newspaper or plastic.
Step 3
Cover your work area with a painter's drop cloth or old bedsheet. Remove the original varnish from your furniture using coarse sandpaper. Your prepared furniture surface should be rough-textured.
Step 4
Apply a coating of primer using a natural-bristle brush. Make sure you are using wood primer, not metal primer.
Step 5
Apply one coat of the darker shade of paint. Let it dry according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations. This coat is your base coat. It will be mostly covered by the outer coat, but the variation between the two shades will help create surface texture.
Step 6
Apply one coat of the lighter shade of paint (outer coat). Allow it to dry thoroughly. This will be your furniture's primary color.
Step 7
Rub away small areas of the outer coat using a piece of steel wool. Do this all over the furniture to reveal bits of the base coat.
Step 8
Remove more paint with a piece of coarse sandpaper, sanding all the way through to the wood. Do this only in spots where the paint would naturally wear away–the corners, edges and around the hardware. This will give the furniture a distressed, antique look.
Step 9
Step back and take a look at the furniture. If you've removed too much paint, add some back in.
Step 10
Rub the furniture all over with a thin coating of tinted furniture wax, using a clean cloth. This step is optional. The wax will help protect the furniture and add another layer of patina. Tinted furniture wax is available in natural wood shades and colors. Follow the wax manufacturer's instructions for drying and buffing.
Things You Will Need
- Drop cloth
- Painter's tape
- Coarse sandpaper
- Natural-bristle paintbrushes
- Primer
- Oil-based or latex paint (2 shades:1 slightly darker, 1 lighter)
- Steel wool
- Tinted furniture wax (optional)
- Rags
- As with any painting project, make sure your work area has adequate ventilation.

Taran Avelo
Noelle Hee
Heather Hee
Gabbie Plain
Taylor Van Zee
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Washington - 6, Oregon - 2
THE MODERATOR: This is the Game 5 press conference featuring the Huskies of Washington. Joined by head coach Heather Tarr, and student-athletes Taylor Van Zee, Noelle Hee, Gabbie Plain, and Taran Alvelo.
Coach Tarr, lots of good stuff to talk about. Let's talk about your pitching staff and your defense. Obviously, especially with Gabbie in the circle, she gets a whole lot of ground balls, I think over 30 in the two games combined. How important is that relationship between your pitching staff and the defense?
HEATHER TARR: Well, you look down at the stats here, and comparatively speaking, I haven't really looked at this that often, but it's a pretty darn good team ERA that we get to go in with.
One of the reasons why is because both Taran and Gabbie specifically, who have had the majority of the innings as of late, have continued to get better and better. And that's what you do when you come to Washington, is you improve.
The other thing that helps them I know is their defense. The defense has their back, morning, noon and night. They're connected units. Today at the end we got a little bit fast. Had to probably get the third out before we with got the first out and so on and so forth. But that's what happens in those moments. You learn from them, you grow from them, and you get ready for the next opportunity that you have to play in those types of moments.
Gabbie, what worked for you tonight compared to this year in Seattle? Obviously a very different outcome this time around?
GABBIE PLAIN: I think the same, like good pitches, good locations, making them swing at stuff that they didn't necessarily want to swing at. Yeah, just keeping on top of it. Trying to minimize the damage that could be done because definitely last time they got some pretty clutch hits at very necessary times. So I was just trying to make sure that I could pitch pitches that my team could get out for me.
Coach, you've got a freshman out here on the biggest stage, beats Oklahoma, two-time defending champion, and comes back and beats the No. 1 team in the country. What are you seeing from the mental standpoint to have the confidence to come out? She seems pretty calm going about doing it?
HEATHER TARR: Yeah, I think that's in her nature. But both Taran and Gabbie have a strong mental game. They're aware of where their head is at, where their heart is at, and it's about regulating that. Taran's different than Gabbie, Gabbie's different than Taran. But what a great mentor that Gabbie has in Taran to follow, and they couldn't do it without each other.
But each has their own cool strengths that we get to maximize on. Gabbie has that kind of chill, no worries personality. Then you've got Taran that is a pump you up, fire you up kind of person. So you have to learn to play behind both personnel, and they have to learn to continue to regulate their heart and be where they need to be when they need to be there.
Kleist was also rolling along in four games. What changed in the fifth inning to get you there?
TAYLOR VAN ZEE: Just make adjustments. Obviously it was our fourth game against them this year. So staying within ourselves, getting together, getting a pitch we could handle, just adjustments in the box and talking, communication amongst hitters. So it worked out for us.
NOELLE HEE: I would say something similar, just communication and doing some momentum, and just keeping it and cherishing it as a team.
You talked about how you got a little fast there in the final inning. Just what exactly was going on, and what did you all do to be able to get out of that final inning and keep the game under control?
HEATHER TARR: Well, anytime I think you put your pitchers in position to have to come into the game. Taran comes into the game in that moment, and she obviously wants to get in a rhythm and go. She gets in a rhythm and goes, and we coaches make a decision to make a change. Then okay, Gabbie, you have to reestablish your rhythm.
First pitch I think she chucked it to the backstop and here we go. But it's all part of it. It's all part of learning to be in situations that are uncomfortable, learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable and continuing to grow and learn as people and players and coaches.
Coach, you did say yesterday that you didn't come to this game as a revenge tour against Oregon, but you did also say you were very aware that you haven't beaten them this year. Oklahoma City College World Series aside, how good does it feel to take down Oregon at this point in the year?
HEATHER TARR: I think what feels good about the game today for us is that we've improved. Again, that's why these guys came here is to see how good they could be and what a great opportunity and stage to perform on to be able to showcase how good we've gotten.
Gabbie, how much of a challenge is that to come out and come back in in a situation like that?
GABBIE PLAIN: It's definitely challenging, but I just sort of went in with the mindset that my team needed me to be there. Taran was doing an amazing job, and for me to come in at the last minute it was definitely a bit of an upset, I think. Everyone was sort of a bit flustered. But we got through it, and we'll grow from it. Any mistakes or any unnecessary errors that we made or that we didn't make, we played through a lot of hardships in the game, and it was just a good outcome at the end.
Gabbie, this is a very large stage, obviously, but when you leave home and move to a whole new country at your age, does it get hard to be nervous about anything else after you've gone through that?
GABBIE PLAIN: Well, I was lucky enough to travel a lot starting from the age of 15. I traveled a lot with different teams. Stayed with the teams away from my parents, away from my family. So it was definitely a good lead-in, I would say, but it's definitely been a challenge to be able to get through so many difficult games.
But I will go home straightaway and call my parents or talk to them just over the phone. So I'm always in contact with them. I'm always going back home, technically.

text: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/01/16/nhamm16.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/01/16/ixhome.html By Tim Walker Filed: 16/01/2005 Even when the game was up for the soi-disant Michael Edwards-Hammond, he still couldn't help himself. "I am confident that I did nothing wrong at Windsor Castle," he told me outside Wandsworth police station after his arrest for allegedly impersonating a police officer within the grounds of the Queen's Berkshire home. "I've attended many functions with the princes - Charles, Andrew, Harry and William - at private households. I believe that the Royal Family will welcome this occurrence because it shows how lax royal security is. And perhaps, as Charles has commented to me, it should be the job of the Army's most elite unit to take charge of it. "If this episode results in our monarchy being protected as it should be protected, then I feel I've performed a service, not a crime. In terms of my forthcoming appearance in court, I will call figures from the world of television and royal circles who will speak in my defence." At an earlier appearance at Heathrow police station, he had gone further and told me: "I am considering calling Charles, William and Harry as witnesses. My case is being dealt with directly by [the then Home Secretary] David Blunkett and [the Metropolitan Police Commissioner] Sir John Stevens." Blame it on an early interest in drama at school or his time working as an estate agent in London, but Edwards-Hammond has long had at best a nodding acquaintance with the truth. As it became clear at Isleworth Crown Court last week - when, curiously enough, not one of his distinguished friends turned up to speak in his defence - the double-barrelled name is probably the most modest of the fabrications of this extraordinarily persuasive 36-year-old decorator's son from Bexhill-on-Sea. Over the years, plain Michael Hammond, Edward is his middle name, has duped a succession of supposedly intelligent people and organisations with his tall tales. When he telephoned the Metropolitan Police to tell them that he was a surgeon fighting his way through heavy London traffic to save the life of a child, they gave him a motorcycle escort. Other roles he has taken include a film producer - a ruse that has got him into numerous parties, gossip columns and the beds of aspiring actresses - and a "renowned" polo expert. Senior police officers are a speciality and those performances have resulted in innumerable innocent members of the public being searched on his orders, an Asian family being taken into custody and several harmless pedestrians being held at gunpoint near Downing Street. And he also found the time to strike up friendships with not only the Royal Family, but also Dannii Minogue, the singer; Jordan, the glamour model; Caroline Stanbury, Prince Andrew's former companion; and Renée Zellweger, the Oscar-winning actress. He was also best mates with Sir Elton John. They have all, of course, denied his fanciful tales. "I checked with Elton and he has never heard of Michael Hammond," says David Furnish, Sir Elton's lover. A spokesman for Clarence House repeated the line: "None of the princes can recall meeting this man. They meet hundreds of people at the polo matches, usually for just a second or two, so it is not surprising they don't remember him." While it is true that Hammond did accept newspaper "tip-off" fees for his tall tales about his own private life, fame or "validation" appeared to be the spur and there appears to be some sympathy for him. "People ask how could we have been taken in by him," one female socialite told me last week. "The fact is we didn't care. He was young, good-looking, amusing and heterosexual, and in London the women outnumber the men at even the most glamourous of parties." Jessica Callan, the wily editor of the Mirror's 3am diary, recalls seeing Hammond at Sir Elton John's post-Oscars party in Los Angeles last year. "I was used to seeing him at Bafta parties and lots of run-of-the-mill events, but this one was exclusive and I was staggered he had got in, but of course that wasn't enough for him. He called me over and said, 'Jessica, let me introduce you to my mate Robin Williams.' He shouted to Robin and he came over. That's the thing about people like Robin - they assume that they must have met this guy, but simply forgotten him, so they play along. They don't want to create a scene. That's what enables people like Hammond to go undetected for so long." There have been society conmen before - one thinks of Guiy de Montfort, who preyed on a succession of wealthy, vulnerable women - but selfdestruction seems always to be part of their make up. For Hammond, it was his doomed attempt to bluff his way into Windsor Castle and for de Montfort it was inviting Nigel Dempster to one of his parties. In no time at all, the great Daily Mail gossip columnist saw him for the phoney he was. If, instead of putting all their energy into deceiving people, men like Hammond had channelled it into nine-to-five jobs, you can't help but imagine that they would now be on the boards of FTSE 100 companies. Why did they feel such a compulsion to set themselves up for dramatic falls? "I think Michael felt shame about who he was and where he had come from," said a woman who had been "close" to him. "The trouble with shame is that it always seems to come with a subconscious desire for punishment." Hammond, who has 102 previous offences, most for fraud and deception and two for impersonating a police officer, will find out what his punishment will be on February 4, when he returns to Isleworth for sentencing.

This analogy, similar to one attributed to Fresnel, provides a way to understand the phenomenon of polarization. Imagine a rope tied to a tree at one end with a person shaking it with a circular motion at the other end. The rope passes through three fences, with vertical bars in the first and the second fences and horizontal bars in the third, nearest the tree. Moving the rope left to right creates waves that would be blocked by the fence because the horizontal gap is small. Thus, after the waves pass through the first fence, they move only vertically. After the waves pass through the third fence, the rope becomes straightened out. This is a common phenomenon of light known as polarization; the first fence plays the role of a polarizer glass and the second one plays the role of a glass called the analyzer.

When Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness launch Marvel Comics' new Avengers series in May, the comic will actually tell the story of two teams.
The first, and likely more prominent team will be a new line-up that sees Captain America, Thor and Iron Man joined by Black Panther, She-Hulk, Ghost Rider, Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange. However, there's a solid contingent of fans who may be just as excited for the series due to its secondary team: the Avengers of 1,000,000 B.C.
RELATED: Marvel's Fresh Start: Who's Who & What to Expect from the New Initiative
Both teams feature in the first look at the new series, (debuting via IGN), and while much of the prehistoric Avengers team closely resembles Esad Ribic's depiction in the Marvel Legacy one-shot, we noticed that the original Starbrand looks less caveman and more Hulk. A coincidence? Perhaps -- but it would be a nice nod to the founding team of modern day Avengers to learn that one of their forefathers shares some incredible similarities with Bruce Banner's gamma-fueled alter ego.
Check out the preview pages below, and stay tuned to CBR for more on Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness' Avengers #1, as well as the rest of Marvel's "Fresh Start" announcement, in the days ahead.

Feature Article
Curating Culture
The phrase "culture eats strategy for breakfast", coined last century by then management guru Peter Drucker, has never seemed more pertinent than it is today.
The Royal Commission into misconduct in the financial sector has highlighted cultural issues as foundational and fundamental driver of the behaviours it investigated. As a result, many Australian organisations are revising their approach to strategy while scrambling to reshape teams, cultures and behaviour and relearn the new rules of survival.
This white paper examines the new perspective of culture as an adaptable and evolving organism and the relationship between culture and strategy in the age of disruption. Maximus address the criticality of getting culture right and the role the leader plays as cultural curator, outlining how they can navigate their new responsibility without controlling it.
The human side of managing mergers
A common reason for M&A (mergers and acquisitions) failure is downplaying the people element. During due diligence, planning focuses on how to realise strategic and financial benefits such as access to new markets, distribution synergies and economies of scale. It's often assumed the human side will take care of itself once the integrated entity is operational. Yet 3 out of 10 mergers fail for cultural reasons.
Human capital analytics
A successful leader brings clarity and focus to complex topics; makes sure the right systems, strategies and people are in place; and positions their business to seize new opportunities. The relatively new discipline of human capital analytics supports these goals by distilling critical workforce insights, yet most of Australia's CEOs are ignoring it.
Creative employee training leads to business improvements
Traditional learning is historically driven out of programs and training sessions. This type of learning is a structured intervention that aims to change and improve specific areas of employee productivity. However, not everything needs to be a training course or a 70-20-10. Employee training and learning needs to be creative.
Customer centricity: lessons from top organisations
Customers are your primary stakeholders. You need to understand how to live in their world in order to offer solutions that meet their needs. If you are not creating the biggest impact for your customers, then you are limiting yourself and your company's potential. In order to develop your employees' understanding of customer centricity, customer-centred coaching is necessary.
Traditional corporate learning is ready to be turned on its head
Traditional corporate learning doesn't leave much to the imagination, and existing learning methods often fail to truly shift an employee's way of thinking. It is necessary for companies to get creative, collaborative, and turn learning on its head.
Joining the company culture club
A great leader builds a company culture that engages both hearts and minds. As CEO, you are responsible for your company's culture as well as its strategy and performance. High performance enterprises get all three right.

This is one of several OB watches I own but the first rose gold. I have to say I find the tint of the rose gold a but cheap looking which was disappointing but I love the size and clean lines of the big dial watches so I'm sure I'll grow to love it. I bought the matching rose gold bracelet too which is gorgeous.

Alliouagana Festival of the Word
At last year's festival, the theme of examining the challenges faced by people of colour and coming up with ideas for positive future action certainly struck a chord with presenters and audience alike. The sessions resulted in lively exchanges with The University of the West Indies' motto – Let All Ideas Contend – well in evidence. Given the interest shown, the Steering Committee for this the 11th Alliouagana Festival of the Word decided to plan what is essentially a Part Two with the theme Continue the Conversation, Change the Narrative.Our invited guests, whether their primary focus is literature, history or psychology, all bring to their work a deep and personal understanding of race relations and its enduring effect on the Black psyche. The following are the confirmed featured authors:
- Dr Emily Bernard, writer on African American Studies, will make the case for storytelling as an urgent and fundamental means of literally composing and reclaiming the self.
- Dr Cheryl Tawede Grills, psychologist, will talk about her work in mobilizing people of African background to heal from and extinguish the lie of White supremacy and Black inferiority.
- Olive Senior, poet, novelist, playwright, journalist, historian and one of Jamaica's national treasures, will talk about the impetus behind her book Dying to Better Themselves, an account of the little known, and thus even less applauded, contributions of West Indians to the building of the Panama Canal.
Media and interactive sessions include:
- A panel discussion to consider the lives and stellar contributions of three of Montserrat's recently departed, Professor George Irish, the Honourable Annie Dyer-Howe and the Honourable D.R.V. Frank Edwards.
- A video viewing followed by panel discussion of the brilliant rebuttal that Ta Nehesi Coates made to Senator Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell's contention that the current generation should not be held responsible for past actions.
- A rare opportunity to see the work of Nobel Poet Laureate, Sir Derek Walcott, on video. The festival has obtained permission to screen Walcott's Steel: A Musical, the music for which was composed by Tony award winning Galt MacDermott, best known for Hair and Two Gentlemen of Verona.
The musical tells the story of the steel band and its internal and external struggles, and has been described as a tribute to the people of the West Indies, their hardships, triumphs and their sense of community. The production done by the Trinidad Theatre Workshop in 2005 was recorded live by Robin Foster. Other events that will be of particular interest to children and their parents include:
- Primary School Book Parade
- HarperCollins Spelling and Reading Competitions coordinated by Barbara Arrindell, co-owner of the bookshop, Best of Books, Antigua and Sonja Smith, Librarian at the Montserrat Public Library.
- The launch of new children's books –Oliver Oriole by Garvey Scrappy Johnson and Boonoonoonous Hairby Olive Senior.
And for everyone, a chance to listen to talented young performers during Word Up – a Storytelling Slam organized by the faculty and students at the Montserrat Community College.As is traditional now at the festival, the Thursday evening before the official opening celebrates the great and late Alphonsus 'Arrow' Cassell. His brother Hero will talk onArrow's contribution to the creative and cultural arts on Montserrat and Dr. Clarice Barnes will deliver the feature address entitled- The Chance' Pond Mermaid and Diamond Snake Meme: Contending Issues in Gathering our Volcano Stories. This will also be an evening of entertainment and the opening on Montserrat of a travelling Exhibition entitledDisaster Passed? It commemorates the eruption, the experiences and the very strong cultural responses both created. The Exhibition was curated by an unusual pairing of literary critics and volcanologists.As always, our grateful thanks go to our many sponsors including the Government of Montserrat through the Montserrat Arts Council, HarperCollins the Publisher, local businesses and individual friends of the festival both on island and overseas. A detailed schedule of events giving times and locations will be placed on our website as soon as final confirmations allow. In the meantime we hope you agree that this is a programme packed with interesting content with plenty of opportunities for diverse voices to be heard. Language will be celebrated as the powerful tool it can be in our efforts to Change the Narrative. Do plan on joining us from Nov 14-17, 2019 for the Alliouagana Festival of the Word.

Plastic is a relatively new material to the world, and as a result, we're still learning what happens to it over time. It's an incredibly durable material, and it doesn't rust or biodegrade, which is why we've produced so much of it.
But the very features that make it so useful to humans make it dangerous for the rest of the world, and it turns out that about 10% of the plastic we use each year ends up in the oceans. While a lot of this is the stuff you're thinking of — six-pack holders choking pelicans, for example — most of the plastic actually hardens under the constant exposure to sunlight and seawater and cracks up into millions of tiny, equally durable pieces.
The YouTube channel MinuteEarth looked into the problem with this short video, and one thing is clear: If we keep throwing away plastics without recycling them or making them biodegradable, we're just going to keep adding more of this plastic "confetti" to the oceans.
Something you can easily do to help prevent more of this pollution is to cut back on using plastic grocery bags — bring your own environmentally friendly bags — and make sure you recycle your plastics as much as possible.
