Happy New Year!  At the beginning of the year, we would like to acknowledge our guest bloggers for their contributions  over the past year. Through their personal stories and shared experience we learned of the many challenges faced for people with disabilities. Yet at the same time, we were inspired by the many successes and victories won.

I’d like also to take this opportunity to thank our Blog Coordinator, Susan Crossley.  Sue has done a great job working with our guest bloggers and taking a role as blogger herself. I also want to thank Becky Olsen of the INDEX staff for her work on the blog.

Finally we  want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been following the blog.  We welcome your comments and hope that you will continue to follow us and join in the conversation so that this is truly an interactive experience.

Our gratitude to you all.

We will be taking a break from blogging for the month of January. We look forward to February when our weekly blogs will begin again with guest bloggers scheduled throughout the coming year.  Please stay tuned!
