on, as the list of states without institutions now includes ALABAMA! I was born

there...guess I should have stayed!

Who knew?

Dear Ellen

When I was in Denver for our national convention, I had

the pleasure of seeing Braddock's Keynote Presentation, " Challenges in

Developmental Disabilities. This was one of 's best presentations in my

opinion and he has had many. It was rich in data and a real call to action. One

of his slides reminded me that there are now 14 states without state

institutions!

Here is a picture from the convention with Berns,

Braddock, Ph.D., Tony and Rubin!
