We teach "infusion units" on disability topics all across our
University campus.  We've got units on

1. Disability Etiquette
2. Disability History
3. Disability Culture
4. Abuse
5. The ADA
and we're developing one on sexuality, and others will come along as
the need arises.


Each Unit is a 45 minute module (expandable to longer time frames
easily) that can be presented to any class across campus, and in the
community.

We've presented them to every college on campus either formally or
informally (the law school has us present to mandatory lunch sessions
so that they don't lose class time).

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
