Seven Wonders of the World of Disabilities
I was perusing the web and checking out the Exceptional Parent website and the title of this article struck me as familiar because of the connection to a series I've seen in National Georgraphic regarding the 7 Wonders of the World. I had to read this one, because I was curious if assistive technology would be mentioned. Well it's not mentioned directly, but has played a big role in all of the 7 wonders identified in world of disabilities.
1. Communication Breakthroughs
2. Wheelchairs
3. Special Olympics
4. Dr Wolfensberger- Normalization Principle and the Social Role Valorization
5. Genetic Research
6. Medical Breakthroughs- Guthrie Test for PKU
7. Polio Vaccine
