Are you finally ready for change?

There are so many books and on how to improve your SELF and make a CHANGE that it becomes overwhelming. The fact that change is inevitable and the one thing we can count on happening should capture our interest. For many of us CHANGE is frightening and a subject we dismiss immediately when it relates to making serious life changes related to marriage/divorce, sickness/health, school/ work, etc. For our Listeners we will focus on the subject of readiness to make changes in our jobs, careers and the choice to start or maintain "school". We begin by examining ourselves and listening to an inner voice. Join Professor Applewhite and guests for this enlightening subject on the Student2teacher show.

Working with Non-Visible Disabilities- Pt 1 of 2

What does a “disabled person” look like? With so many symbols and pictures displaying a wheelchair icon it is difficult for many to visualize a person standing, walking, talking, etc who may need an accommodation at work or college. Almost 20 million persons with disabilities are in the United States workforce managing chronic pain, alcoholism, respiratory diseases, diabetes, cancer, HIV/AIDS, traumatic brain injuries, fibromyalgia, arthritis, rheumatic diseases, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and many psychiatric and learning disabilities. Learning to adapt to a disability that is not visible is most difficult because society demands visual proof of things. Employers, employees, and adult students need education to understand how differently-abled employees can contribute to the workforce.
