The Story of Us is more than a history book-it's a tribute to resilience, dignity, and love. Written with clarity and compassion by Joel Carson, this reader-friendly journey traces the evolution of developmental disabilities from ancient times to modern inclusion.
Through seven heartfelt chapters, readers will explore:
- The forgotten lives of people with disabilities before
laws existed.
- The rise and fall of institutions-and the fight for
justice.
- Landmark legislation that changed lives forever.
- Clear definitions and facts that foster understanding.
- The voices of self-advocates, caregivers, and allies.
- Breakthroughs in technology, education, and
community living.
- A legacy of care giving, storytelling, and faith that
continues to uplift.
With a glossary of key terms, a spotlight on the NADSP, and a dedication to Direct Support Professionals, this book honors those who walk beside-and those who lead the way.
Whether you're a caregiver, educator, advocate, or simply curious, The Story of Us invites you to learn, reflect, and celebrate the beauty of every life.
Because history isn't just about what happened-it's about who we choose to become.
