More pics, incl Dr. Jeff Bostic, who joined us to train teachers on disaster MH response. For 6 days we trained Polish responders to look, listen, and care for refugees -- let's ALL remember to do that for EVERYONE around us ALWAYS. #ukraine#poland https://t.co/KBLX37XYMl

So the emails
you meant to write
remain unsent
So your report
that is due
is not finished
So the dishes
remain piled high
in your overflowing sink
So your to do list
remains mostly
undone
You have survived
another week
of the plague
And though
that is not enough
it is enough
Congratulations to @jamesianmusic and the entire team for this important work. Thank you @JudyWoodruff for your Inclulsion of disability in the PBS News Hour.

Excited to be with @uvmcess faculty and staff at our Fall meeting. Important discussion and advocacy for accessibility and equity for faculty and staff with disabilities. Shoutout to @jsalpirone for advocating for tenure positions for disabled faculty! @CDCIatUVM
✳️ Tier 3 intervention is NOT special education. Tier 3 only means intensive support. Not all who need intensive support have an #IEP. Not all with an IEP need intensive support. #LeadInclusion
I have positive news to report regarding #StopTheShock! The US House passed an appropriations bill today that includes a provision prohibiting Education Department funding for any entity using electric shock devices!
