Product Description:

This is the third film in the IHDD Life of Choices Video Series that focus on transition from youth to adulthood and competitive employment. Betsy's Story is the story of IHDD ADA Coordinator, Betsy Wynne and shows the success possible when a child with cerebral palsy grows up in a more supportive and inclusive world. This film tells with unflinching honesty of the partnership that must exist between a child with disabilities and family members. Betsy pushes the boundaries, defies limitations and challenges barriers in a quiet determination to seek the same joys, responsibilities, and roles as her peers without wheelchairs or disabilities. Betsy's mother tells of working hard every day to relinquish control and see what challenges must be overcome for the next transition. Currently, Betsy and her mother are available to speak with parent support, educational, and faith-based groups. Pre-release copies of the DVD are available for a limited time at $15 plus shipping.
