ON THE WEB I got this question from one of your fellow newsletter readers (Nancie) "Is there is good resource for accessing travel information for those of us who work with family/friends who are ABI/wheel chair dependent? Any direction you have would be helpful." -Nancie Mleczko Worldwide there has been a growing Disabled Freedom Movement and the disabled are seeking new travel choices. Access-travel has become popular and familiar to many traveling by air and sea, and lots of that info is on the web:

5. CLINICIAN'S CORNER
Video footage from the 2000 convention in DC. Requires Real Player (which you can download free). (For our non-clinician readers: ASHA is the annual conference for speech therapists and audiologists.) 6. HUMOR AND INSPIRATION Either we have hope within us or we don't. It is a dimension of the soul and it is not essentially dependent on some particular observation of the world.
It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart. It transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.
HOPE in this deep and powerful sense is not the same as joy that things are going well or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.
HOPE is definitely not the same as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out. It is hope above all which gives us the strength to live and continually try new things.
