  • Patricia Bauer's blog

    Pat Bauer is a journalist…a curious person by nature. She is also a pioneer in making news about disability easily accessible through her blog, http://www.patriciaebauer.com/, because her daughter Margaret, now 22, has Down syndrome. Pat’s blog collects news stories and other publications about disability (not just Down syndrome); contains recent headlines (e.g., Americans with Disabilities Restoration Act); organizes topics into more than 100 categories (from “abortion” to “wrongful birth”); publishes Margaret’s 1999 Washington Post article about herself (“Tell Them It’s Not So Bad“); and links to 53 other websites about disability.

  • Early Childhood Family Support Blog

    The Beach Center on Disability's own blog focused on Early Childhood Family Support. This blog grew from our community of practice (CoP) on Early Childhood Family Support and publishes tip sheets, stories, links, and other resources identified or created in the community of practice.
