WELCOME

Among those of us who care deeply for and about people with developmental disabilities, I hope to hear emerge a new voice, ours, rising together for the benefit of all, harmonizing with reason, respect and hope, and transcending divisions, giving birth to a new era of creative cooperation.

Toward this potential, DD EXCHANGE is for conversation, civil sounding off, sharing of stories, experience, information, resources, and inspiration, giving and receiving support, and creative problem solving.

A NEW BEGINNING

THE UNSETTLED DUST:
When I started this blog, it was with the intention of establishing a forum for peace, and mutual understanding and support among parents, guardians and people with developmental disabilities.
However, our Wa. legislative session that just ended, yesterday, has proven to me that there must be some very uncomfortable truth telling before we ever will get to the lofty point that originally I envisioned. The air is thick with dirty residue due to false representations made to legislators and people who need or use services, alike. It needs to be cleared.

Please write your thoughts, reference websites and other material and help inform everyone of what you know and consider important. It might not be pretty, but lets keep it civil, please.

Contact me if you wish to have a guest editorial.
