Having problems with message search?
First, I must say hello Tanya, not Tania, as in prior post - please excuse, my own name gets different renditions as well.
The give-and-take here is quite democratic but your own kind words are much appreciated.
I lived in L.A. many times in spurts, up from just south of there. It's a bit hot in NY just now, not the balmy southern California of my own personal origins. And I think of the L.A. /San Diego areas often. Still, there is much that is interesting here. And the cyberspace connections globally are extremely assistive as in this present pleasant instance.
Interesting to learn of your upcoming talks and of course your book. We hope to meet you here in August. Also please post on the progress and outcome of other events you attend.
Very best wishes, :) LDMF.

> > Preface
> >
> > Social power has been successfully used as a tool to analyze events surrounding politically charged racial and gender inequities. The group of people who have received a diagnosis of developmental disability could be classified as a similar political entity to other studied groups since they face many of the same types of discrimination and social stigma. There are striking differences, however. When members of many politically protected groups are denied equality the general public perceives that discrimination against a class of person has occurred. Yet when a problem arises between people with developmental disability and the organization that serves them, most observers assume that the difficulty lies in the diagnosis of the individual.
> >
> > In the world of developmental disability there is a keen awareness that staff are often afraid to advocate on the behalf of someone they serve, and people who receive services are afraid to speak up for themselves. Stories of situations which feature one or both of these constraints are well known to everyone who has spent much time in the field. The predominant notion that assigns responsibility for conflicts to the disability or to the person with disability masks the power of the organization and the great potential an organization has for determined action. We questioned why this inadequate explanation was in general acceptance.
