Conversations on Citizenship & Person-Centred Work
Conversations on Citizenship & Person-Centred Work is a collection of interviews of top professionals in the field of community inclusion and person-centered planning. These interviews were conducted between April and July of 2010. The eight contributors, one of whom (Connie Ferrell) is a former staff member here at the Indiana Institute, were asked questions around the idea of what makes a person a citizen. Each offers their own insight into this area of "community" inclusion.

April is Accessibility Awareness Month
The City of Bloomington has put together a calendar of Disability Awareness (last month) and Accessibility Awareness activities. We talked about the calendar for Disability Awareness activities last month but thought we'd bring it up again for the Accessibility Awareness activities that are happening around the City this month. Starting next week, many different areas will be covered in terms of accessibility: from Internet to employment to travel.
