In honor of Father's Day, Dean Hallberg joins the podcast this week to talk about whether or not raising a family takes a village. We talk about his work in local politics and civic engagement and how both relate to creating strong families. We also look at the importance of getting involved in politics on the local level to help institutions thrive in your community—when there isn't much financial payoff, is the time and effort worth it? Dean Hallberg spent years in public service in the state of California. He served as Mayor and Councilman in the City of Hollister and President of the American Heart Association, San Benito Division. He also was the governor-appointed Chair of the Area VII Board on Development Disabilities, Commissioner of the Hollister Parks and Recreation Commission, Member of the California Council on Criminal Justice, and Principal at Calvary Christian School.--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today's news cycle and are seeking the truth.

On this week's episode of Humanize Your Workplace, we are joined by Laurel Rossi. Laurel started Creative Spirit US in 2017, the first organization to match those with intellectual developmental and learning disabilities with the best companies in the world – unemployed at an astounding 85%.

Laurel is a career marketer and is a sought after speaker on the subject of diversity and inclusion in the advertising and marketing communities. Laurel lives in Bedford, New York with her husband Joseph and her daughter Mia who has Williams syndrome, a rare condition that affects 1 in 10,000 people--her constant inspiration for demanding equity and inclusion for those with intellectual disabilities. We chat about: Define intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) How Creative Spirit-US works to decrease the unemployment rate How Creative Spirit-US works to disprove the myths about people with disabilities What employees should consider as they hire more diverse groups, specifically IDD individuals --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alissa-carpenter/message
In the early '90s, facilitated communication was the big breakthrough. It was finally a way for nonverbal people to communicate their innermost thoughts while getting an assist from a facilitator. But then it started to become more clear that it was the facilitator who was actually communicating, and communicating some horrific allegations of sexual abuse, leading many upstanding organizations to denounce facilitated communication as a pseudoscience. Yet it still gets practiced. In this episode, cohosts Beth and Kelly talk about the story of Anna Stubblefield and DJ, and a "romance" concocted through facilitated communication.

[3-part documentary] Episode 3 of 3 - Darkest before the dawn. 1900s - 2000s In this new Yarn Miniseries I'm going to give you a rough history of Disability. In episode three things start with one of modern history's darkest ideas, Eugenics. We explore its prevalence, especially in America and some of its most famous proponents. Then we jump over to Post WW2 Britain and we uncover how wars not only created Disabled people but how post war periods also led to infrastructure and programmes that helped people with disabilities. We will confront the horrific conditions Disabled residents of institutions were forced to live in and see how the era of the big institution eventually came to an end. We'll intersect with the Civil Rights movement and see how it inspired the Parent's movement, which led to the Independent Living movement and the fight for Human Rights for people with Disabilities.

[3-part documentary] Episode 2 of 3 Two Steps Forward. One Step Back. 1500s - 1800s In this new Yarn Miniseries I'm going to give you a rough history of Disability.

[3-part documentary] Episode 1 of 3 - Parallel Worlds. Prehistory - 1400s In this new Yarn Miniseries I'm going to give you a rough history of Disability. The story of Disability runs in parallel with the story of humanity itself and like the story of humanity, some of it isn't pretty. It involves murder, neglect, segregation and sterilisation but it's also a story of innovation, determination and love. In episode one I define what a disability is before diving into the past. I start with the Neanderthals, checking in with the Egyptians, the Celts, the Ancient Romans and I also highlight the effect organised Religion has on the perception of people with a disability.
