"PatriciaEBauer.com is a collection of news and commentary about disability issues drawn from news organizations around the United States and elsewhere.

As a journalist and the mother of a young adult with disabilities, I have often wondered why I was not able to find an online source for media coverage of issues relating to disability. Ultimately, I concluded that I needed to create such a resource myself.

I’ve attempted to create a crisply written website, updated regularly, that draws on a wide range of newspapers, magazines and other media resources to bring readers current reports on issues of interest to the disability community."
