Disability411 provides audio workshops, interviews and information on disability-related topics for those who work with individuals with disabilities, including college disability counselors, rehabilitation counselors, K-12 special education teachers, employers, or anyone who works in the disability field. Information is also of interest for individuals with disabilities and their families. Hosted by Beth Case, a disability counselor with more than 13 years of experience in postsecondary disability services. Speaker and author, Marcus Engel, has been on the show a couple of times. He became blind in college when hit by a drunk driver. A short film has been made about an experience in his life, called The Drop. You can see it at www.TheDropMovie.com. We will be having an interview on the show that Marcus' wife, Marvelyne, did with Marcus and the actor who portrayed him. Go check out this video. It's amazing! I'm hoping Tyler will be able to be on the show. This week, I talk to Robert Martinengo from the AccessText Network, a way to make requesting electronic texts from publishers a while lot easier. Visit them at http://accesstext.org/. TRANSCRIPT FOLLOWS I'm back! And with an interview that is long overdue! I did this interview with Marcus Engel last October just as I was starting to get sick (as you may be able to tell in the interview, my voice was not at its best). Marcus talks about things to take into consideration when traveling if you have a disability. You can learn more about Marcus at his website, http://www.MarcusEngel.com. TRANSCRIPT FOLLOWS
