Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Action Alert on ADA Hearing

I just received an action alert from the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law regarding a hearing on restoring the ADA act. I pass it on for your consideration and possible action:

Next Tuesday, January 29th at 9:30am, the full House Education and Labor Committee will hold a hearing on the ADA Restoration Act (H.R. 3195). All members need to hear the powerful testimony.

If your Representative is a member of the committee (see list below), please call
and urge him or her to attend the hearing in 2175 Rayburn House Office
Building. And if you can, try to attend yourself.

Please tell your Representative that restoring Congress' original intent for the
Americans with Disabilities Act is necessary to create an equal playing field for
people with disabilities and stop disability discrimination in the workplace and
elsewhere.
