The NTH Degree

Description

(in a relatively large nutshell) Yes, Virginia, there is a Disability Culture. It has been around and evolving for a very long time. There is history and contribution, There are poets, painters and musicians, actors, artisans and leaders, dancers, speakers and politicians, business owners and storytellers, parents and siblings, inventors, teachers, scientists and explorers. Yes, even presidents. The world owes a debt of gratitude to its Disability Culture. Without it, most likely, we would not have many of the products from which we benefit: the telephone, the phonograph, automatic doors...The list is endless. The Nth Degree is about turning light bulbs on. We are about helping folks to recognize that there is no such thing as "Us and Them", just one big "Us". We're about increasing awareness and understanding; as much about the celebration of our individuality and our differences, as the search for common ground: the search for shared truths, interests, histories, goals, fears. This catalog is about focusing on a bigger picture, about believing in one's self and cause. What can we bring to the table of our community? What is our story and how can its telling enlighten that community? Finally, The Nth Degree is about feeding our sense of humor: that vital and most intimate connection with the child within. Laughter is the elixir of life and the universal language. Shared, it levels walls; opens minds, assuages fear. Being able to laugh at ourselves, our professions, our fears, our culture with its "norms" and expectations, is like taking the kid to work with you. Well, maybe not that...but it is like having an invisible button running directly to a brain pump that puts negative karma on the now o'clock train out of Dodge.
