“Our greatest hope is
that it’s not just the responsibility of parents and individuals with
intellectual disabilities to be advocates and ambassadors but the classmates,
the co-workers, the neighbors, the members of religious communities”.

In seeking to identify an appropriate topic for my
presidential address, I concluded that I would focus on what I think is my
rather unique contribution to the developmental disabilities field: a morphed
perspective, namely, wearing two hats—professional and family. As I have
reflected on the process of wearing two hats, I realize that I have ended up
with a single hat, one—a morphed one—that combines my professional and family
perspectives in ways that create a new framework for my thinking, research, and
teaching.

I really like all of the quotes you selected. In particular, I really like the first one about how "you can't be what you can't see." If you want something done, or a change in the world, you have to model that for others. This also reminds me of the quote "Actions speak louder than words." We can say the change we want to see, but we also must do something about it if we really want something to happen.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! We should all be a part of the change! None of us should just sit idly by and watch the world pass us by. Especially right now. For too long, many of us just say silently and did nothing. I think that is why we are seeing so many stand up and say "Enough!"
ReplyDeleteThank you Tara!
