Every program has it’s own challenges. I was honored to be chosen to facilitate a team building event for the Partners in Policymaking annual reunion. Partners is an organization of people with disabilities, both physical and intellectual. This is a wonderful event, a weekend in which people are educated to advocate on their own behalf for equal access and legislation. I was careful in my preparation for this program, working to understand the particular group dynamics, sensitivities and challenges. It was wonderful. We were able to have a lot of fun and touch upon the goals, concerns and aspirations of this group. Here are some of the wonderful lyrics created at the event:

Schools, jobs, transportation
We want full participation
Empowerment through avocation
Help us pass more legislation
