History, Progress, Transformation

Last year, the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy unveiled at their Summit on Disability Employment Policy a photographic exhibit on disability history and employment. This exhibit documented the lives of people with disabilities throughout the last century--from confinement and segregation to employment and inclusion.The photos are a powerful reminder of how the lives of people with disabilities have changed through the years and ends with a vision for the future.

CeDIR has received a copy of the commemorative book, History, Progress, Transformation: Vision of the Future based on the exhibit. To check it out, give us a call!

Caresharing

Are you caring for someone who is aging, ill, or has a disability? In her book, Caresharing: A reciprocal approach to caregiving and care receiving in the complexities of aging, illess or disability, Marty Richards talks about moving beyond basic caregiving into a relationship of interdependence between the caregiver and the care receiver by focusing on the spiritual and emotional aspects of the relationship.

Indiana residents may check out this book from CeDIR, others can use worldcat.org to find it in a library near you.
