Winter Quarter 2014

David L. Jaffe, MS and Professor Drew Nelson Tuesdays & Thursdays   4:15pm - 5:30pm Thornton Center - Classroom 110

Thursday, January 30th

Abstract: I will talk about the difficulty -- and sharply contrasting ease -- of getting my last two power wheelchairs, five years apart. I will use my personal story to illustrate the difficulties / struggles that people with disabilities can go through, just to get their minimum equipment needs met.
