Unwtnily of lUmou at Urbana-Champaign RehaMilatum-Educatum Oak Chami nUmau 61820 Dear readers: Acting as the Editor of this year's Sigma Signs has been a challenging but enjoyable task for me I wanted to create a magazine that will change the way that persons with disabilities are looked at and portrayed. I knew that m order to accomplish this many barriers are needed to be removed in society. It is my hope and the hope of others that the University of Illinois sets a standard for the rest of the world to live by. So. it only makes sense to call this year's theme. "Expectations for the Future; Removing Architectural, Educational, and Attitudinal Barriers." Current happenings at the University of Illinois seem to indicate that many architectural, educational, and attitudinal barriers will be obstacles of the past. Many architectural barriers have been removed from campus buildmgs to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. For example, elevators have been added to Ilhni Hall and Institute of Labor and Industnal Relations Building, and are currently being constructed for Noyes Lab and Nuclear Engmeenng Building. TTiis last year, approximately 95 automatic doors have been added or are planned. Also, educational bamers should be removed in the near future due to adaptive technology and in part, though the efforts of Project PURSLTT. whKh informs persons with disabilities how to achieve a higher education. La.st but not least, increased participation m the annual "Wheel Awareness" event and the dissolving of "Handicapping Language" should help eliminate stereoty-pes. providing less attitudinal barriers for persons with disabilities to overcome, (see Main Features) I hope that you. the reader, find the articles to be interesting and thought-provoking. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mike Cafferty, Ron Phelps. Christina Kuta, Paige Lewis, and all the writers who made this issue possible, especially. U of I graduate Mike Massow and Robbie Edwards who volunteered their time to do the layout. Please feel free to e-mail me any comments, whether good or bad, that you might have about this issue.

SIOS2A O^tflCR-OKT R-EH ABIL.ITATI O N SER-VICE F R, AT B K, N I T Y Alpha Chapter Oak Street, Champaign, Illinois 61820 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Rehabilitation-Education Center 1207 South Dear friends of DSO, Before I begin, I would like to thank all Delta Sigma Omicron Alumni for their past efforts which have allowed hundreds of students with disabilities the opportunity to receive an education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As President of Delta Sigma Omicron during the 1995-96 school year, I was grateful for the dedication of the executive board. Namely Matt Lakin, Vice-President, who did an outstanding job coordinating this year's Hoop-A-Thon, Mike Quach for his enthusiasm as Treasurer and Allan Creep as Secretary. Moreover, I was pleased with the interest of this years' members of DSO. Because of their interest, it was easy to accomplish the goals that we had set. The Christmas Party at the Top of the Inn was a blast and the Annual Awards Banquet was also a success. The Hoop-A-Thon packed Kenny Gym and participants of the Wheel-A-Thon swarmed the Quad. We established the Distinguished Teaching Awards, which recognizes exemplary staff at UTUC for their implementation and/or accommodations for students with disabilities, (see articles) To further enhance DSO, we need to actively welcome a variety of members, not exclusively residents from Beckwith Hall. We (students with disabilities) could be such a powerful force, but the willingness to become one must exist. In a few short years accessibility for wheelchairs will be a thing of the past. We need to continue our focus on awareness and more importantly, on breaking the barriers to educational access. A cohesive Delta Sigma Omicron could eliminate many educational barriers, especially access to computer programs, which seem imminent. If we don't start immediately, we will be excluded from many educational opportunities, similar to what the founders of DSO faced with accessibility. To strengthen DSO further, we must send a representative to student government meetings, which did not happen this year. Lastly, it would not hurt to welcome people from the Chancellor's office to address some of our concerns. Actually, I think they would enjoy the conversation, and the pizza—depending where you ordered from. Knowing next year's officers, I am confident they will make great strides for Delta Sigma Omicron. My only request is that they remember some of the ideas that I have expressed. As for now, I would like to this opportunity to thank Paige Lewis for her advice throughout the school year. Brad Hedrick, and Bryan Pratt for his patience and dedication to this year's publication oi Sigma Signs. Finally, I hope that you will not only enjoy this edition of Sigma Signs, but that you have a better understanding of what Delta Sigma Omicron is and what we represent.

The editors tell me their theme for this edition is: "Expectations for the Future: Removing Architectural, Educational and Attitudinal Barriers." Issues of accessibility and perception are important to the administration of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Chaapaign, and DSO plays an active role in explaining what is being dooe on this campus to address them. We are proud that our campus is one of the most accessible in the nation, but we understand that it is vital to continue to live up to our reputation through a constant effort aimed at removing the barriers you face on canpus each day. As one of the nation's premier institutions, the University of Illinois is academically challenging.

    Adaptive Sports USA History Timeline December 2020

    Adaptive Sports USA History Timeline December 2020 The purpose of the timeline is to honor the rich history of Adaptive Sports USA as the organization blossoms into what is now Move United. This timeline is written with the intention of celebrating the milestones in which this organization has accomplished, along with the many triumphs of the Disability Rights movement in the USA. From the beginnings as the National Wheelchair Athletic Association to its final name change, there have been a great number of individuals and groups involved with this organization. The sample of the historic milestones mentioned in this timeline would not have been possible if it weren't for the countless number of passionate and dedicated heroes and pioneering mothers and fathers, who care about the mission of this organization. Many molded the organization and solidified its foundation. During the organization’s first few decades, major events and activities took place that complimented the purpose of the organization like the disability rights movement and its respective legislative accomplishments, the initial development and networking between like minded organizations, both nationally and internationally, the evolution of publications and public relation efforts networking with mainstream media and the early days of road racing. Since those days through 2020, we have seen integration and inclusion of individuals with a disability in sport and in everyday life. Additionally, we have seen the evolution of adaptive equipment and training and education opportunities and an increase in the overall awareness of disability in our society. It started here. To the many athletes and their family members, staff and volunteers, coaches, officials, classifiers, event directors, allied health members, member organizations, sponsors, donors, and partners, we thank you for your dedicated efforts to the sustainability, growth, and impact of this organization.

    Published on FCA Resources (https://fcaresources.com) Home > Pushing Through (Excellence - Chapter 5) Pushing Through (Excellence - Chapter 5) n/a Ready: "Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer." ?Romans 12:12 "Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time." ?Marabel Morgan Set When Jean Driscoll was a teenager, she had all of the same negative ideas about wheelchairs as everyone else. They were cumbersome and limiting, and using one meant the end of any shot at a normal life. And that?s exactly how she felt when, as a high school sophomore, she was forced to use one herself. ?I thought my life was over,? Driscoll candidly says. It took another 10 to 15 years for Driscoll, whose condition was caused by spina bifida, to learn that her life was in fact not over. It was just beginning. And then in 2002 at a Bible study, she stumbled across Daniel 7:9 ? a passage that confirmed what God had been revealing to her all along: ?As I kept watching, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white like snow, and the hair of His head like whitest wool. His throne was flaming fire; its wheels were blazing fire.? By then, Driscoll had already come to understand the purpose behind her disability. Many years of life experience and spiritual growth separated her from the pain, hurt and confusion that surrounded her childhood and teenage years. But that didn?t make her discovery any less inspiring.
