Hello there,
Since completing this blog for my class assignment, I was honored to have my blog selected as the sample for future students to use as a guide! I’m thankful that my research on this topic will be viewed by others and will hopefully leave an impact and desire to create change.
I am now preparing for my last assignment for my MPH degree-the practicum. I am completing my practicum at a local health department in my area. After speaking to my preceptor about my interests in health services for people with disabilities, I have been assigned to help create an Emergency and Disaster Response Plan for people with disabilities. I couldn’t be more thrilled to assist on this project.
Stay tuned for my upcoming posts about Emergency and Disaster Response for people with disabilities! For now, check out what the CDC has provided as a guide for this topic: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/disabilityandhealth/emergencypreparedness.html. They also have updated their Disability and Health website: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/disabilityandhealth/index.html
