Disabled?

This talk, just a few powerful minutes long, is by Rochelle (Shelly) Baer, a licensed clinical social worker and a significant community contributor in Miami for the past two decades. She is coordinator of The Emerging Transformational Leadership Program at The Mailman Center for Child Development at the University of Miami. She has been a major leader in helping the physically disabled community to live fuller, better lives. She was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at age 3, but has never let her disability hold her back - from work or recreation (including skiing, camping and dog sledding as well as travel from South Africa to Spain).
