Providing information, education, and training to build knowledge, develop skills, and change attitudes that will lead to increased independence, productivity, self determination, integration and inclusion (IPSII) for people with developmental disabilities and their families.

Wolf Wolfensberger:

Letter of Appreciation from Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger


Thomas Neuville just reported that in the 2-3 weeks that our two history DVDs have been on the Internet, 6000 parties from 25 countries all over the world have viewed them, and that the reviews are very favorable, with accolades for the technical quality of the product. This is a phenomenal—and to me, entirely unexpected—response.

Your Council is to be congratulated for having taken on what initially could have been interpreted as a risky and costly project, with maybe no more than documentary benefits. At our end, we (as always) tried to uphold the highest quality standard, but it was the technical work on your end that assured that the quality of the content was equaled by the quality of production.

Again, my respects and best wishes to your Council members.
