Hello, I'm back, I will be posting my blog every two (2) months so that I will be able to read and reply to any responses. It has been hectic for the past wto months trying to put together additional information for the website (look for some exciting new information and features in the coming weeks) as well as continuing the work of PPD, refering clients for services.

I post this blog to get feedback from the community to see what are the concerns of the Differently-abled, and see if there are any new topics or concerns in our community. I would appreciate it if visitors who use the mass transit system (public bus or subway transportation) encounter any problems when commuting and using a service animal or wheelchair. I reside and work in NYC and using mass transit can be problematic at times, because MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) employeess are not educated about American withDisabilies Act law and compliance. Every day traveling on the either the bus or subway. I always emcounter a bus drivers daily who do not know the that a persson with a service animal requires a "PRIORITY" seat on the bus. Althouth PPD has been featured in a training video for MTA bus drivers, an overwhelming majority of bus drivers still just don't get it. It is my hope that people who are service animal users will reply to this with some feedback, so that we can mobilize and galvanize to advocate for more community awareness through public service announcements (PSA's). With public service annoncements the community can become more educated in disability etiquette.

I would like to wish you all a happy holiday and look forward to my next blog.

I aspire to inspire my peers and  will be posting my blog bi-monthly, so I look forward to hearing from you, keep healthy and be well.
