March was Developmental Disabilities of Awareness Month in the USA. Sunday, April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day, celebrated by the member states of the UN, and in the United States, April is Autism Awareness Month. Therefore, it's appropriate timing that our community of Davis, California, USA should gather together on the evening of April 3rd to discuss ways that we can seek to better include people with all types disabilities at
school; in business and government centers; and in places of work,
worship, working out, and leisure. This event is called "A
Community Conversation of Inclusion", and the organizers request an RSVP at the Facebook page. Here's that link:

"A Community Conversation of Inclusion"
The Autism Spectrum ranges from "Level 1" (requiring some support) through "Level 3" (requiring very substantial support). My son, David M. Nisson, PhD, is at "Level 2" (requiring substantial support). He dreamed of earning college degrees in Experimental Physics, but only wealthy "Twice Exceptional" students could afford this. It's against my religious values to ignore "Talents", so, with my support, David went on to complete a Ph.D. at UC Davis Physics and contribute to the all-important world of scientific research. This blog serves both as a reference for the increasing numbers of parents following in my footsteps, and a warning that in addition to advocating for academic accommodations and arranging behavior programs, parents must also spend time studying medical issues that seem minor during childhood, and to
participate now in the reform efforts of crucial national agencies like SSA and HUD, and those of your city, county and state government to protect your sons' or daughters' futures.

Hello, David and Mary,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how the Night turned out?
Hi Adelaide,
DeleteThanks for commenting. I'm sorry it took me a year to respond. To answer your question, it went great! The team at "Community and Employment Services" of Davis have done a terrific job of keeping everyone motivated ever since, especially important now during the pandemic. Do you have services like these in your community, Adelaide?
