Abstract

By speaking over the heads of handicapped people we reveal our underlying beliefs and assumptions regarding mental and physical perfection. We must challenge such beliefs if we are to appreciate the important contribution the disabled make to society and we must provide services for them which respect and empower them rather than further disable them.

Getting the health care reform message out to your community is vital, writes the author, but learning how to communicate that message is equally critical. To do that, he says, you must know your audience, establish common ground with as many people as possible, and say what you have to say in language they can understand. The media filter, he says, poses a persistent challenge to communicating the issue.
