  • 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 a young adult, 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.
