The Disability Action Center is a non-profit organization run by and for people with disabilities. Our goal is to increase the life options for people in the five northern counties of Idaho. This is accomplished by emphasizing information, recreation, assistive technology and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Last two issues are now available. Please let us know if you would like to see previous issues.
Every organization needs a guiding paradigm for how it operates.
We believe that there is a strong relationship between our disabilities and the way we react and interact with ourselves, the physical environment and with others. We have several exciting activities planned for the coming month. The ATRC is operated by Sharon Ferrell a specialist in applied technologies from Eastern Washington University. Her interests range from teaching classes in both PC and Macintosh applications to developing a custom-designed communications device for a person in a nursing home. Independent Living Program Independent living began in the late 1970's in California and Boston, as a movement to bring personal control over one's life to people with disabilities.
