National
Disability Employment Awareness Month: Laws
have been passed that are breaking through many of the barriers
which have kept people with disabilities out of the mainstream.
However, we cannot legislate against attitudinal barriers; that is
the one frontier which each of us must confront. We must all work to
remove the negative and stereotypical attitudes from our minds,
writings and actions. |
