"New Ideas Unlock Opportunities for Persons With Disabilities

By Gov. Tom Ridge

From physical and development disabilities; to sight, hearing and speech impairments; to "hidden disabilities', such as mental illness ...disabilities come in all forms. They also affect us differently. Some of us have disabilities ourselves -- I wear a hearing aid, for example. Others have family members or work with people who have disabilities."
