The New Face of Disabilities

The New Face Of Disabilities from Melica Hampton

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.

@MelicaNiccole I'm here!

Thunderclap: The New Face of Disabilities

Help me reach by goal of 100 supporters by 5/12/15. Let's support literature geared toward helping people learning about various disabilities, acronyms associated with working with this population, and employment data.

The New Face of Disabilities

The face of those with a disability is ever changing, making it more and more challenging to determine who has a disability and who does not. Wouldn't it be a perfect world if everyone was equipped with the right tools to assist those with a disability? Well, why not try to make it an almost perfect world? Get a copy of my soon-to-be released book. The New Face of Disabilities will assist you with understanding those who have a disability, resources needed for these individuals, and look at the population size of people with disabilities. 

Book designed by Joshua Jadon
