Different Spokes: February 2011
http://differentspokes.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Putting a positive spin on life with a disability. Thursday, February 17, 2011. New surgery decreases risks of Spina bifida. We'd like to thank Meryl in Scotland, Hannah in New York, Mike in Georgia, and Carol in Michigan, as they sent off a barrage of emails and phone calls about this new study. According to the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, surgery on babies while they are in the womb has an enormous rate of success at limiting Spina bifida's effects once the baby is born.

http://differentspokes.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-hate-when-people-sit-in-wheelchairs.html
Putting a positive spin on life with a disability. Saturday, October 15, 2011. I hate when people sit in wheelchairs who don't need them. While driving to Minnesota from Chicago this summer, we stopped at a McDonalds to use the bathroom and stock up on root beer. As you can see in the photo, a delivery truck parked sideways across 3 handicapped parking spaces. Luckily for us, there was one more available for us to use. Maybe he should look in the mirror?

Putting a positive spin on life with a disability. Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Those of you in the Chicago area, or the Midwest for that matter, can commiserate with the giant dumping of snow we all got yesterday, in the form a flying, hurricane-like, windy blizzard. We have a post going up about snowfall for Yahoo! Accessibility at the end of the week, but we wanted to give you a glimpse of what we got, and why you shouldn't let using a wheelchair stop you from going out and playing in it!

Putting a positive spin on life with a disability. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Training in a new personal assistant. As personal assistants come and go, simply finding a new one is not the only challenge. You also need to take the time and effort needed to properly train one in. Friday, April 23, 2010. Giving credit where credit is due. A job merely because I use a chair. We can't have it both ways in the disabled community. We can't want special treatment (such as being chosen for a specific actin...It se...
