We just celebrated the 21st Anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act! Every day this act directly touches the lives of every person with a disability. It’s up to us to determine how this plays out in the future. To make an important point about that, I want to tell you about a recent brush that I had with the ADA.
The Digital Jedi
This blog is about living large with a disability. We'll share strategies that are consistent with the SILC's mission whereby we support activities to advance the equality with which people with disabilities enjoy, participate in and contribute to the lives of their communities, families and friends.

Two years ago, my son (who was 9 at the time) asked me a question that I found difficult to answer: “What do you do for your job anyway?” (Good question!). Well, I’d been in the communications business for a number of years and been privy to the latest computer technology for quite some time now. That’s been out of necessity, as marketing agencies and design firms ship most of their “widgets” as electronic attachments. These digital packets contain all the information necessary to create ads, posters, TV spots, etc. After 22 years in the ad business, lately serving mostly non-profits and public health agencies, I was able to leverage my experience into a position contributing to the Independent Living movement. Score!
