As a result, we will redefine assistive technology and disabilities. I would favor some kind of loan grant program, similar to a Federal Housing Administration program that allows people to have the best access to technology. That would ensure the best quality of life and an opportunity to achieve their potential. They also could live decently without the stigma of disability being attached to them. We must redesign all federal and state programs.
Maintenance is a slow death.
Empowerment is reattaching you to life. They are totally different models. Then Congress must change obsolete federal laws that restrain and cripple people with disabilities. The way the rules work now are very destructive. We have this sad case of a young woman in San Diego who died a few months ago.
