Poll on Categories of Student Disability

Hi group members.

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

Please click on "Polls" in the toolbar .

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.
