What I've Gathered is This...


Early on, before arriving in Macedonia, I began proofreading the English for the Macedonian Scientific Society for Autism's Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation. This is the only online journal for special education research in Macedonia. Link to learn more about MSSA here.

  • As soon as I arrived, I had the pleasure of attending the EASPD Skopje Conference, held on October 7th and 8th 2010.
    • The emphasis was on training staff working with people with disabilities and continuing the process of deinstitutionalization. I was lucky to  meet two women who started the NGO Mobility Challenge and are friends today.


Later, I presented at a conference regarding accessing higher education put on by Fulbright alumni and was able to meet many of the academics interested in solving this issue here. My role was to provide the American perspective on how to make education accessible. The result of the conference can be found here:

On a hike in November after a wine tasting in Damir Kapija, I was shown the massive building for the institution in Macedonia for PWDs. An investigation about the institution can be found here:
