The New Face of Disabilities Twitter Party- Jessica Baggett

I conducted my first Twitter Party with Jessica Baggett on Wednesday, April 13, 2016. The purpose of the Twitter Party was to discuss her disabilities, her abilities, her passion, and her current work. This event is in direct correlation to my book, The New Face of Disabilities, which is about changing the mindset of those who think negatively about those who have a disability.  The book details ways to work with individuals, commonly use terminology, employment data, and resources to getting individuals assistance in going to work. These individuals are able, willing, and more than ready to be integrated within society. Support them and their efforts to be successful.
