The Arc Lane County will release a book entitled, Dreams Without Limits: Changing Perceptions about People with Disabilities, on Sept. 29 from 4 to 6 p.m. outside its office at 4181 E Street in Springfield. The book, with a foreword by Governor Kate Brown, features beautiful portraits of local families and their empowering stories of strength, hope and love.
Nearly 40 local children, youth and their families, as well as adults who experience disabilities are in the book, along with personal stories about their hopes and dreams for the future. The purpose of the book is three-fold: 1) to give parents and families new to a diagnosis hope and a vision for the future; 2) to dispel myths related to hiring people who experience disabilities; and 3) to change perceptions about people who experience disabilities and create more welcoming and accessible communities.
