delAware: A Newsletter of Interest
The Delaware Assistive Technology Initiative (DATI) officially joined the Center for Disabilities Studies (CDS) at the University of Delaware on July 1, 2009. The mission of CDS is to enhance the lives of individuals and families in Delaware through education, prevention, service, and research related to disabilities. The Center promotes independence and productivity so individuals and families can fully participate in the life of the community.
One of the ways the Center educates is through its bi-annual newsletter, delAware. It has been a collaborative effort of the CDS and the Delaware Developmental Disabilities Council for more than 15 years, and we are pleased to make it available to DATI consumers.
Each issue of the newsletter has a theme, focusing on a topic of interest to people with disabilities and their families. The current issue, Fall 2009, focuses on various types of family supports and includes an article on how DATI has helped several families achieve improved access to assistive technology. In addition to the DATI article, there are features about other CDS programs that support families, an article about a respite care network resulting from the collaboration of several organizations, and a list of family support resources. The current and previous issues are available on the publications page of the CDS website, www.udel.edu/cds.
If you would like to receive a paper copy of the latest issue, or be added to the delAware mailing list to receive future issues, please contact Michele Sands at msands@udel.edu or 1-302-831-3038. The next edition of delAware, which will be published in Spring 2010, will focus on transition issues.
