Cedras gave no time or

Walters said that access to programs is
as important as access to buildings.
“Most people think that students who
have disabilities are all in wheelchairs,”
Walters said. “There are people who are
visually or hearing impaired. There are
also people who have psychiatric, psycho
logical, medical or temporary impairments.
“Recently, there have been a lot of im
provements in access to programs, such as
concerts in G. Rollie White.”
Walters said
Networks is de
voted to increas
ing non-disabled
students’ aware
ness and under
standing of dis
ability issues.
“Most able-
bodied people
say ‘It may never
happen to me,”’ Walters said. “In fact,
one out of three or four people will have
a disability.”
Harris said Networks’ annual wheel
chair basket
ball game,
which will be
on Thursday,
helps raise
awareness.

"Most people think that students
who have disablilities are all in
wheelchairs. There are people who
are visually or hearing impaired."
— Gail Walters, Networks faculty advisor
“It’s a very physical sport,” Harris
said. “By the end the participants are
very exhausted and impressed with the
students who are disabled. It’s very
awareness raising.”
Walters said she suggests students par
ticipate in all activities sponsored by Net
works and join the organization.
“The majority of our members are peo
ple with disabilities,” Walters said, “but
anyone interested can join. We like to get
the non-disabled person’s point of view.
“The most important thing is to realize
that change is on-going. We just need to
recognize that and keep plugging away.”
