Remember all of these heroes by celebrating Disability Awareness Week, May 27 to June 2, 2001. Transportation, Housing, Education, Recreation, Employment and Communications. Most of us would take these services for granted in our community and feel that we had the right to public access for all of them. However, sometimes the needs of persons with disabilities can get overlooked in the plans and they end up being excluded. Help us to remember to include everybody by celebrating Disability Awareness Week, May 27 to June 2, 2001.
Words are important in conveying attitudes.
A rose is a beautiful flower but if we called it a stinkweed it would not send the same message. Not all persons with a disability are sick or require special medical care on a regular basis. See the person first and the disability second. A message from Disability Awareness Week. Persons with disabilities are not looking for a handout or special favours.
