Hi Andrea,
 
I have asked one of the Bridges to Practice Master Trainers to  answer this 
question for you.  The answer is forthcoming from Patti White,  Master Trainer 
with Bridges to Practice and Disabilities Project  Manager from the Arkansas 
Adult Learning Resource Center.
 
 
Thanks for the question!

Rochelle,

Could you perhaps  list the major  attributes of the Bridges to Practice 
model?  That might be a useful way to  get us all on the same page.

I still remain deeply troubled and in fact  confused as to what I feel about 
the"disabled" word.  It suggests perhaps a  life long disability with no 
chance  of remediation or change.   Suppose a person is terrified of the water and 
finally learns to swim.   This has always bothered me.

Thanks.

Andrea
