So that gives you an idea of who I am. Us a hard road to walk. Being Little Mountain's mother, I can do things, but it's the other blessings I get from her. We can empower ourselves and make change. I wish to thank you all for the profound stories you have shared with us in your introduction.
Disabilities affects everyone.
We have invited Skip Brooks to share his knowledge about disabilities and to provide for the audience a historical review of disabilities. I am going to take a few minutes to talk to you about the national picture, and to provide a glimpse of the history of disability. W hat we've done is brought people to speed on what the issues are. Some of these issues are hard to deal with. The same people are here that deal with disabilities in their communities, but there are a lot of others that aren't here.
