The University of Kansas Institute for Health and Disability Policy Studies — funded by ACL’s National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) — is seeking adults with disabilities to complete the 2023 National Survey on Health and Disability (NSHD). 

The NSHD gives voice to the concerns of people with disabilities and documents their experiences with a variety of issues, including access to health care, insurance coverage, housing, transportation, Long COVID, employment, education, and more. The survey is open to U.S. adults 18 and older with any disability and/or health condition.

For more information, please call 855-556-6328 (Voice/TTY) or email healthsurvey@ku.edu. Participants may complete the survey by phone.

DSD Book Fair Donations

Our Book Fair will be here this week! I know the students are excited – it’s been a long time since we’ve hosted a Book Fair. 
 
In the past, I’ve set up systems for those students who are not able to bring money to still be able to get a book from the fair. 
 
This year Scholastic Book Fairs has their e-wallet system. They made it so teachers can set up an e-wallet that others can contribute to. 
 
So, I set up a Library/LINK Center e-wallet to collect donations for students in need and to also add more items to the library collection. 
 
If anyone would like to contribute money to help us get a book for every student, you can do that here.
 
Note – it says “Fund E-Wallet for Karen” and it says “3rd grade” – this is the correct account. It forced me to select a grade – no option for all the grades. And all funds in this e-wallet are going to be used for students and the library only. 
 
Donated funds will be used for students first. If there are any funds left after all students get a book, the leftover money will be used to add books to the library collection for our school. 
 
Anyone who feels they’d like to contribute but would rather do so with cash, you can do that, too. Come see me at the Book Fair.
