The 2007 edition of the Disability Awareness Newsletter is becoming a reality, thanks to the efforts of a group of teens and New York State United Teachers (NYSUT). Funding had been cut because two state agencies merged, and it looked like that there would be no longer be any more annual newsletters. NYSUT stepped in and provided funding.
Michell Goliber, a teen who has Asperger's Syndrome, got involved in the teen group because the mission of the newsletter is to bring together teens with and without disabilities. He and his mother attended NYSUT's three-day writers workshop.
