How Do Disabled People Like To Be Referred To?
Q. I'm trying to advertise a social event for disabled people. I'm thinking that if I advertise it as for "disabled people" then people who don't consider themselves disabled (but still have a "disability") won't come.

A.

Second - people who have not come to accept that they are disabled with their disabilities have no interest socializing with people who have at a function for "them". So if you want to reach the most people don't mention disability at all in terms of who the social event is for.

A. I really don't understand how you think you can invent something to help people who live with a disability every day of their lives by asking a simple question such as this. It demonstates how little you really understand the complexity of the lives we lead. Millions of assistive devices exist - and some work extremely well for some and do nto work at all for others who face the same access problem. If you really want to invent something - get to know someone extremely well who has a disability and get to understand the life they lead and what challenges they face. Only then can you invent something that will be truly useful.

A. individuals with disabilities are expected, both by students with and without disability experience, to face social awkwardness and discomfort from others in the community, but are not generally expected to be devalued by others because of their disabilities. Having a disability, however, increases the perception that individuals with disabilities are devalued, and decreases perceived emotional well-being.

Employers have warned that without at least a basic grasp of ICT skills, people will find it increasingly difficult to find work. Of those in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), 37 per cent have never used a computer, while only 37 per cent have used the internet.

What is the demographic of disabled people in Connecticut?
Q. I am trying to start a business dealing with care for children living at home with their parents. I want to propose a good business plan in order to get grants, loans, and investors in order to get the ball rolling. I want to figure out the demographic concerning disabled persons under 21 in CT. I know this may or may not be difficult due to privacy laws. Can anyone direct me to a site or phone number...or any general ideas...on how to get an accurate number? Thanks in advance!

A. try the websites for various disabilities with chapters in our state of Connecticut. For example i was born with spina bifida and past president of our CT chapter years ago. You could also try the state of CT website search there for example, our birth to 3 programs WIC program HUSKY insurance program. Wish u luck as i have been involved over the years with housing issues since state housing authorities were ordered, in 1993 i think, the law was changed so ppl such as myself non-elderly disabled can live in state elderly housing and there is a great need for many more units cp in CT
