Nice to meet you too Karen, and I agree with you about exposure to
nondisabled kids. They seem to have better values about the disability
community anyway. I think exposure from TV shows such as sesame street have
been a beneficial influence and I am hoping that the next generation of
disabled folks will be able to report a more positive atmosphere.
