27 Years of the Americans With Disabilities Act

On July 26, 2017, the Department of Justice published “27 Years of the Americans with Disabilities Act,” and Nick was so busy hanging out at the Ability Fest in Fort Collins, that he forgot to remind all of the Nicksters and you, his followers!

So, in a time of political uncertainty and tension, we here at AiA would like you to know that because of this piece of legislation 27 years ago, Nick is able to enjoy a quality of life from simple breathing, nourishment, outdoor water sports, to community speaking events like his 2015 TEDxFrontRange speech, or taking an evening “roll” through the neighborhood as the sun sets.

Thank you ADA, former President George HW Bush, and all your proponents in Congress. You and the folks who adhered to the law made an incredibly positive change in our world and are what being awesome is all about!

Good day, Awesome tribes people. The AiA team, at Nick’s direction, would like you to know that he recently disappeared for a small medical issue, but has returned in true style like the superhero he is! There’s only one thing to do when you disappear ….

In keeping with the push of information, Nick found two pieces of information today while checking messages and getting back up to speed on work life.

The first piece of new information is that yesterday was what an emerging group of activists call World CP Day . We are learning more about this movement and if you click the blue words back there, you can learn also!

MASON COOK, KYLA KENEDY, JOHN ROSS BOWIE, MINNIE DRIVER, MICAH FOWLER, CEDRIC YARBROUGH

SPEECHLESS – ABC’s “Speechless” stars Mason Cook as Ray, stars Kyla Kenedy as Dylan, John Ross Bowie as Jimmy, Minnie Driver as Maya, Micah Fowler as JJ and Cedric Yarbrough as Kenneth. (ABC/Kevin Foley)

The second piece of new information coming in to the AiA office is more of a reminder that the new NBC show Speechless looks really hilarious!!

The show premiered Wednesday, September 21st. Check out the trailer!! (yep, click those blue words). Nick thinks she really rocks those booties.
