Hi group members.
I have posted a poll asking which specific categories of disability you are most interested in discussing and hearing about.

Thanks, in advance, for sharing your preferences.

Hello Rochelle,
Thanks so much for including the Correctional Ed Group in your poll. I look forward to planning an interesting and informative discussion based on the poll results. Disabilites I am personally interested in pertain mainly to returning Veterans. As many know, there is an over-representation of Veterans in the criminal justice system. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) (there is a movement to remove the D for Disorder from PTSD, so I defer to that here) are two of the less physically evident injuries from which returning Vets suffer. I would be very interested in discussing ways in which adult educators, and specifically correctional educators, are addressing the needs of students who suffer from these unpredictable conditions.
