[blindza] Re: Disability - quo vadis?

I agree that it might be a good thing to divide this up into various 
geographical locations, partly since not everyone can all that easily travel to 
one location as such, and, have also thought it might be nice to maybe split 
this up into focusing on certain types of disability, or something, since, 
along the lines of the silly old concept that all disabled people must be in 
wheel chairs, it might be nice to sort of focus on certain parts/types of 
disability adaptation or something at something like this...?

Also, their stall pricing is ridiculous if they're trying to help people share 
information, as opposed to just promote businesses, etc. - sorry.

Stay well

  Have you received a notice about the next Airports Company Disability 
Exhibition planned for 
  Thursday 6 to Sunday 9 September 2012 at the Sandton Convention Centre?

  Some serious stuff is happening around us as  the uniqueness of disability 
issues becomes watered down by submerging it with Women and Children, and now 
the Aged.

  What happened to the SOD? Is it now part of DICED? Did it do much in any case?
  Now CASE capitulates and jumps into bed with the Planned Retirement Expo.
  Is this government's move to sideline disabled children and adults into old 
age homes, to relieve the pressure on education and employment?

  Who is fighting back - is it the SA Disability Alliance or the NGO National 
Councils or who?
  I think that it would be more useful to have a disability exhibition in each 
province/ major city.
  What do you think?
