Description
Disability Commission Advisory Board Meeting 9-21-2022
A
I
know
that
andy
already
said
that
this
meeting
is
being
is
calling
the
meeting
to
order.
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
talk
a
bit
about
the
agenda
for
the
evening.
We
I
want
to
have
introductions
of
the
members,
so
first
I'll
go.
My
name
is
wesley.
Ireland
and
I
am
using
american
sign
language
and
you
hear
the
voice
of
a
female
interpreter
and
I
am
on
the
board.
I'm
the
chair
of
the
board
and
I
live
in
the
north
end.
B
A
A
A
E
G
A
H
A
A
Yes,
I
do
see
there
are
two
new
members
that
we're
actually
waiting,
we'll
probably
have
them
until
we
do
the
approval
of
the
last
month's
meeting
minutes
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
have
them
introduce
themselves.
Okay.
So
let's
first
begin
with
first,
I
would
like
to
say:
hooray:
we
finally
have
a
forum,
so
I
would
like
to
just
then
say.
A
We've
got
two:
we've
got
minutes
from
the
past
two
month
meetings.
Sorry,
while
I
try
to
find
them
here,
so
we've
got
the
july
minutes
and
the
august
meeting
minutes
and
I
would
like
to
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
july
meeting
minutes.
Are
there
any
comments
or
concerns
corrections
about
the
final
meeting
minutes
for
the
month
of
july?.
A
A
A
A
A
K
J
L
Please
I'm
sorry
I
was
on
my
phone,
then
I
didn't
know
you
were
going
to
call
me
so
I
jumped
off
and
jumped
onto
my
computer,
so
I
could
turn
on
turn
on
the
camera.
Thank
you
again.
My
name
is
charlie
kim
I'm
on
the
advisory
board.
As
the
parent
representative,
my
daughter,
she
is,
I
have
two
daughters
that
attend
boston,
public
schools,
my
youngest
daughter.
She
attends
the
horace
mann
school
for
the
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing,
and
so
she
has
a
significant
hearing
loss.
L
A
A
It's
been
a
really
good
experience
the
past
four
years.
So
welcome
so
next.
What
I'd
like
us
to
do?
We
do
have
a
presentation.
Our
presentation
for
the
month
of
september
is
from
the
boston,
public
schools,
special
education.
We
have
with
us
marshka,
fitzpatrick
and
she's,
going
to
talk
about
transitional
services.
M
M
So,
first
I'm
going
to
start
with
some
demographics
and
we
do
our
demographics
on
october
1st.
So
I
do
apologize.
We
is
the
last
is,
but
as
of
october
1
2021
about
10
523
students
aged
3
to
21
with
disabilities,
which
is
22
of
the
total
enrollment
of
the
boston
public
schools
are
enrolled
in
special
education
services.
M
M
So,
first,
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
definition
of
transition.
Some
of
this
is
jogging
and
I
do
apologize,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
definitions
when
we
have
these
discussions,
so
in
massachusetts,
students
receiving
special
education
services
between
the
ages
of
14
until
they
graduate
with
a
high
school
diploma
exit
with
a
high
school
diploma
or
exit
at
age
22.
M
M
M
M
The
strive
department
consists
of
seven
community
connections,
facilitators,
three
community
field
coordinators,
who
provide
student
support
at
work
sites
and
one
educational
coach
who
currently
works
at
the
macy
program
at
mass
art
and
the
macy
program
is
the
massachusetts,
inclusive,
concurrent
educational
initiative
and
that
allows
students
with
autism
and
intellectual
disabilities
to
audit
college
classes,
while
they're
still
in
high
school.
So
it's
kind
of
like
early
college
for
students
with
a
little
bit
more
significant
need,
and
then
my
community
connections
facilitated
by
seven
people.
M
A
lot
of
students
are
working
on
just
academics,
because
a
lot
of
students
go
to
college
right
like
we're
thinking
about
reading
and
math,
but
we're
also
thinking
about
self-regulation,
self-advocacy
executive
function.
What
are
the
skills
you
need
to
be
employed
or
be
successful
in
a
post-secondary
set?
So
during
the
school
year
we
have
partnerships
and
training
sites
in
the
city
and
I'm
going
to
briefly
go
into
them
again.
Impactability
through
triangle.
M
We
have
best
buddies,
which
offers
recreational
opportunities
for
our
students.
We
have
young
entrepreneurs,
which
is
a
curriculum
all
about.
How
do
you
build
the
skills
you
need
in
order
to
become
employable?
We
have
travel
training
with
the
mbta
we
partner
with
mrc
for
pre-employment
training
services.
M
We
have
green
city
growers,
which
has
been
one
of
the
most
amazing
partnerships.
We
have
gardens
in
seven
high
schools
across
the
city
and
we're
moving
into
having
our
students
we're
trying
to
do
a
farmer's
market.
We
didn't
get
that
far,
but
our
students
are
literally
taking
food
farm
to
table.
Brighton
high
school
has
done
an
amazing
job
with
growing
their
own
food
harvesting,
their
own
food
and
then
serving
food
within
their
school,
so
that
the
students
are
learning
about
environmentalism
sustainability,
like
all
skills,
we
need,
as
we
grow
into
adulthood.
M
M
You
know
those
basic
self-regulation
executive
function
and
how
to
be
employable,
and
they
eventually
move
up
into
the
green
side
where
they
go
throughout
the
wentworth
campus
performing
different
jobs.
I
have
some
slides
on
that
a
little
later
as
well,
and
then
they
eventually
become
supervisors,
and
so
they
get
to
like
go
through
the
steps
of
like
what
is
it
to
be
a
good
worker
and
you
know
to
build
your
employability
skills.
So
that
you
can
leave
school
with
a
job
to
be
paid,
we
have
animal
rescue
league.
Some
schools
have
like
certain
partnerships.
M
The
burke
has
animal
rescue
league
and
the
roach
ice.
Rink
goodwill
is
down
on
harrison
avenue
and
we
have
students
that
go
in
there
and
again
they're
learning
basic
employability
skills.
We
have
project
search
at
new
england,
baptist
hospital
students
do
full
year
internships
and
they
go
through
rotations.
M
We
have
project
reach
with
gillette
world
shaving
headquarters
in
south
boston
and
students
work
again
with
a
person
who
works
in
the
gillette
factory
and
they
go
through
and
they
do
different
activities
that
are
assigned
for
different
departments
and
then
jvs,
which
is
jewish
vocational
services,
and
they
do
training
for
some.
They
do
some
culinary
they
do
some
hospitality
and
they
do
retail.
So
we
try
to
have
as
many
opportunities
for
students
to
align
with
their
interests
while
again
thinking
about
how
are
we
building
employability,
skills.
M
For
post-secondary
education,
we
partner
with
roxbury
community
college,
we
have
the
key
program
for
many
years,
we're
hoping
to
reinstate
that,
and
that
is
a
semester
where
they
do
call
like
what
is
it
like
to
be
a
college
student?
They
do
an
intro
to
college
semester
and
then
they
can
take
some
courses.
M
M
Oh
I'm
sorry,
this
is.
I
transition
schedule,
classes
that
shouldn't
have
been
that.
I
don't
know
if
that's
out
of
sync,
I'm
very
sorry
about
that
for
our
extended
school
year,
when
our
students
complete
their
academic
requirements
or
the
academic
requirement
in
the
state
of
massachusetts,
is
that
we
meet
our
four
years
of
academic
programming,
whatever
that
looks
like,
as
well
as
our
state
standardized
test.
M
So
in
grades
8
9
10
11,
our
students
are
going
to
be
working
on
their
academic
skills,
so
they're
going
to
be
still
working
on
their
reading
and
their
writing
as
well
as
self-regulation
executive
function
and
when
they
complete
that,
if
they
still
require
esy,
we
have
summer
programming,
that's
tailored
again
towards
vocational
programming,
and
this
is
housed
at
madison
park,
and
we
are
very
fortunate
to
have
some
amazing
vocational
exploration
programs
and
during
vocational
exploration
students
get
to
go
through
a
series
of
shops.
They
get
to
sample
different
vocational
opportunities.
M
We
and
if
they
have
the
skills
required
to
move
up
into
a
pay
program.
We
have
training
sites
and
these
two
are
housed
at
madison
park.
So
we
have
auto
detailing.
We
have
bicycle
mechanics,
we
have
culinary
arts,
we
have
facilities,
our
junior
custodial
students
can
go
around
the
city
for
custodial,
we
have
digital
imaging,
we
have
carpentry,
we
have
office
assistance,
which
is
another
office
assistance,
with
somebody's
idea
that
we
have
students
become
the
office
assistants
at
the
other
esyi
sites.
M
So
the
older
students
got
to
go
into
the
other
esy
sites
and
support
the
site
coordinator
to
do
like
different
office
activities,
and
the
kids
had
a
lot
of
fun
with
that.
That
was
a
great
idea
and
then
again
we
have
students
over
at
wentworth
training
program
and
in
the
summer
they
do
a
lot
of
landscaping.
M
And
then
we
can't
do
it
alone,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
wonderful
partners
in
boston.
Public
schools.
Contracts
with
outside
vendors
partners
with
partners
for
youth
with
disabilities
provides
a
career
readiness
curriculum
and
they
do
a
train,
the
trainer
model,
so
they
come
in
and
they
train
teachers
to
embed
this
curriculum
into
one
of
their
classes.
M
One
of
the
important
initiatives
under
the
my
college
and
career
planning
from
the
state
of
massachusetts
is
career
immersion.
So
many
of
my
vendors
I've
asked
them
to
start
identifying
internships
around
the
city
for
our
students
using
their
networking,
so
their
career
immersion
provides
coaching
for
our
students.
M
I'm
asking
them
to
find
up
to
year-long
internships
for
our
students
so
that
they
really
have
a
solid
ground
grounding
in
the
area
that
they're
doing
the
internship
in
I,
like,
I
don't
think
six
weeks
is
valuable,
especially
not
to
somebody
who
requires
you
know
practice
and
repetition
so
that
you
know
they
can
be
paid
at
the
end
of
the
internship
again
jvs
transitions
to
work.
These
are
six
to
eight
weeks
programs
and
the
students
work
on
life
skills,
customer
service,
job
search,
resumes,
they
do
job
applications,
they
do
interview.
M
Preparation,
jeff
gentry
from
jvs
is
amazing.
He
has
a
great
network
in
the
disability
community
and
he
does
everything
he
can
to
get
our
students
paid
employment
when
they
finish.
Jvs
jvs
will
also
travel
train
our
students.
So
if
we
have
a
student
who
would
like
this
student's
ready
to
come
and
work
and
be
trained
to
go
to
work,
they
will
literally
travel
train
him
to
the
training
site
so
that
they
can
get
the
student
where
they
need
to
be
in
order
to
be
successful.
M
M
Using
the
train
they're
around
the
community
and
they're
like
hey,
I
need
a
part-time
job,
so
bridges
takes
those
kids
and
they'll.
Do
they'll
teach
them
a
mock
interview,
they'll
go
to
the
job
interview
with
them
and
then
they'll
do
a
debrief
with
the
students,
and
then
bridges
will
also
follow
our
students
for
one
year
work
opportunities.
M
Most
of
our
partners,
a
lot
of
our
partners,
provide
very
similar
services.
It's
just
provided
in
different
groupings,
so
work
opportunities.
Unlimited
is
for
that
student
that
needs
just
a
little
bit
extra
work
like
more
individualized
career
planning.
Then
they
do
job
tours.
They
do
job
coaching
again.
They
go
to
the
they
go
to
the
interviews
with
our
students.
They
debrief
our
students
and
then
they'll
actually
go
into
the
job.
M
You
all
with
us
again
take
students
to
northeastern,
allows
them
to
have
a
peer
mentor
audit
classes
best
buddies.
Does
social
pragmatics
for
our
students,
give
some
friendship,
matches
public
speaking,
training,
social,
emotional
opportunities,
and
they
did
an
amazing
thing
for
us
during
the
pandemic
they
started
what
they
called
lunch,
bunches
and
backpacks,
so
that
the
students
could
see
each
other
from
across
the
city,
because
they
won't
get
to
often
see
their
friends
from
across
the
city
outside
of
like
special
olympics
and
esy.
M
M
Okay
and
then
again
just
a
little
deeper
into
the
strive.
Wentworth
training
program
go
green
recycling.
It's
teaching
our
students
basic
job
skills
that
we
all
need
when
we
are
doing
things,
we
need
to
know
how
to
collapse,
or
you
know
how
do
we
package
up
what
we're
doing
like
when
we're
getting
ready
for
our
day?
How
do
we
organize
ourselves?
M
Students
go
into
the
facilities
training
program
which
emphasizes
custodial
skills,
they
strip
the
floors,
they
shampoo
the
furniture
they
move,
students
in
and
out,
and
they
also
learn
to
use
a
variety
of
equipment
around
the
campus
laundry
service
crew.
This
this
depends
upon
the
year
and,
like
the
needs
of
how
many
students
we
have,
we
can
have
up
to
like
40
students
some
years.
M
So
if
we
have
like
like
a
little
bit
of
a
too
many
students,
we'll
do
a
laundry
crew
and
these
students,
you
know
they'll-
do
the
campus
laundry
for
the
different
dorms
again
grounds,
crews.
They
do
the
landscaping
for
parts
of
wentworth
campus
and
then
one
of
my
favorite
partnerships
is
with
the
city
of
boston
disability.
Commission
with
commissioner
mikash
she's
opened
a
lot
of
doors
for
us
in
the
city
to
like
have
partnerships.
M
Kristin
generously
gave
us
a
curriculum
developed
by
the
national
disability
institute
and
students
received
seed
money
to
open
a
bank
account
once
they
finish
the
curriculum,
and
I
think
we
have
the
curriculum
in
nine
schools
and
I've
identified
three
more
for
this
year.
So
it's
kind
of
exciting,
because
financial
literacy
is
really
being
talked
about
now
and
we
already
have
it
seated
in
the
boston
public
schools.
M
So
that's
super
exciting
for
us,
boston,
parks
and
recreation,
we're
working
with
them
to
get
the
students
out
to
the
greenhouses,
and
I
don't
know
if
people
knew
this,
but
the
commissioner
of
parks
is
also
the
head
of
animal
control
and
he
is
interested
in
having
us
have
students
work
with
the
stu,
the
dogs
and
the
cats
that
are
like
over
off
of
american
legion
highway.
Like
he's
like,
I
need
dog
walkers,
and
I
was
like
a
lot
of
students
are
really
interested
in
animal
care
and
dog
walking.
M
We've
just
got
a
new
connection
with
the
boston
athletic
association
to
have
our
students
begin
to
be
the
people
on
the
route,
doing
water
or
even
showing
up
to
the
different
athletic
events
which
are
super
exciting
because
they're
across
the
city
all
the
time
and
then
one
of
the
other
really
important
partnerships.
We
have
is
the
department
of
youth,
engagement
and
employment,
and
they
are
our
partner
that
makes
sure
that
our
students
who
are
doing
paid
vocational
opportunities
within
the
schools
in
the
summer
are
receiving
paychecks.
M
And
last
but
not
least,
we
have
a
huge
vision
for
the
future
for
our
students
in
the
boston,
public
schools,
and
it
is
a
comprehensive
postgraduate
transition
program
that
will
provide
equitable
access
to
our
18
to
22
year
olds,
to
really
have
a
place
to
come
to
work
on
their
skills
that
they
need,
whether
it's
they
want
to
go
to
college
or
they
want
to
go
out
to
work
whatever.
They
want
to
do.
We're
starting
to
develop
programming
to
meet
their
unique
learning.
Styles.
A
M
A
N
A
This
is
wes.
I
wanted
to
say
that
your
presentation
was
really
great.
There
was
lots
of
I'm
sure,
there's
other
questions.
I've
got
a
few
questions
myself,
but
I
think
I
want
to
allow
others
to
ask
questions.
There's
lots
of
information
dick.
Do
you
want
to
go
ahead?
First?
I
see
that
you
have
a
hand
raised.
K
M
So
you
so
transition
planning
as
the
continuum
of
the
coordinated
set
of
activities
from
14
to
22..
So
we
measure
our
success.
I
guess
it's
challenging
because
when
our
students
exit,
they
do
have
so
many
different
avenues
that
they
can
go
down
right,
like
how
many
students
go
to
college,
how
many
students
go
to
a
paid
work
environment,
how
many
students
go
to
a
supported
work
environment
and
how
many
students
go
to
day
habilitation
due
to
their
disability?
M
A
L
L
Thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
that
you
put
into
these,
and
I
think
we
see
your
presentation
each
year
and
I
kind
of
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
a
couple
of
the
slides
just
asked
from
last
year
we
were
excited
that
you
had
presented
the
idea
of
a
center
of
excellence
or
a
hub,
a
hub
model,
and
we
thought
that
was
great.
Do
you?
Is
there
an
actual
plan
that
that
you're
working
on
to
set
that
up?
L
So
how
can
a
parent,
you
know
think
about
transitional
services
when
they
think
about
where
the
you
know
should
they
be
think
about
that
their
students
should
transition
to
a
different
school
that
may
specialize
in
or
have
more
students
that
they
could
have
more
peers
and
transitional
services?
And
then
the
plan
to
create
that
center
of
excellence
or
that
hub,
where
parents
can
actually
go
to
and
and
possibly
and
caretakers,
and
even
the
students
themselves
to
go,
find
out
and
collaborate
more
with
their
peers.
L
And
then
just
it
was
a
two-part
is
a
is
it
with
that
planner
will
be
using
some
of
the
significant
federal
funding
that
has
come
in
in
some
made.
No,
it's
the
emergency
funding
that
has
been
allocated
about
a
half
a
million
dollars
to
boston
public
schools.
Is
that
have
you
kind
of
plan
on
using
some
of
that
grant
money
to
accelerate
this?
The
idea
of
the
center
of
excellence
or
health
model
so.
M
M
Renovating
this
huge
space
that
boston
arts
academy
used
for
second
time,
meg
was
with
me:
meg
got
the
tour
the
other
day
max
jones
got
the
tour
the
other
day
and
she
got
to
sit
in
the
space
where
we
want
to
create.
Like
a
common
area,
I
was
saying
for
those
students
that
are
18
to
22.
We
want
them
to
not
feel
like
they're
in
high
school.
M
We
want
them
to
feel
like
they're
in
a
common
area
or
college
to
come
in
and
we
can
have
parents,
and
we
have
all
little
spaces
that
we're
hoping
that
we're
going
to
start
to
transfer
our
shops
into.
So
we
are
doing
the
training,
and
then
we
want
students,
the
14
to
17
year
olds
were
still
working
on
those
pre-vocational
skills.
M
We
were
going
to
want
them
to
come
with
their
classes
and
start
to
do
some
trainings
in
the
shops,
so
we're
really
close
charlie
and,
like
the
avid
the
the
end
result,
we
should
have
a
building
comparable
to
boston
arts
academy
right.
Our
students
should
have
a
state-of-the-art
facility
in
the
city
of
boston,
which
is
I'm
heavily
promoting.
M
You
know
the
commissioners
on
board
with
me
and
you
know,
roxy
was
like
I'm
going
to
be
right
there
next
to
you,
so
we
we
have
a
foot
in
the
door.
Charlie
funding
is
another
conversation.
I've
been
having
with
people
like
you
know
I
need.
I
need
job
coaches,
I
need
head
coaches.
I
need
teachers
right
like
I
need
to
have
staffing.
So
that's
a
conversation.
M
A
G
Thank
you
bentley,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation,
marcia
I
I
was
watching
it
besides
that
very
visual.
I
love
the
information
you
provide.
The
slide
shows,
and
I've
been
looking
at
all
these
opportunities
that
you're
offering
like
or
that
your
comp
that
your
agency
is
offering
like
culinary
arts
and-
and
I
I
know
there
was
just
a
lot
of
handcrafting
work
that
you
offered
to
your
students
and
what
I
was
really.
I
personally
want
to
say.
G
I
personally
am
very
appreciative
of
the
fact
that
you
also
are
now
offering
administrators
assistance.
So
if
someone
yeah,
because
someone
who's
on
autism
spectrum
or
and
whatnot
can
do
that,
I
personally
want
to
say
thank
you
for
my
best.
I
mean
I'm
sure,
be
by
a
certain
day,
but
I
don't
say
firstly
thank
you
so
much
because
I
have
a
lot
of
peers
who
they
they're
more.
G
I
mean,
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
like
I
know
there
is
opportunity,
but
goodwill,
which
is
great
and
other
or
like
every
a
lot
of
things
where
you
are
doing
hands-on,
like
culinary
arts
plan,
platinum,
gardening
and
whatnot,
but
having
the
administrative
part.
That
is
golden,
because,
because
there
are
many
of
them,
because
maybe
I
mean
yeah,
these
are
dissolved
with
opportunity,
but
there
needs
to
be
more
diversity
and
you
offering
the
administrators
that
is
beautiful.
G
I
mean
I
personally,
I
love
administering
the
work
so
and
I
just
know
a
lot
of
people
who
love
doing
evidence.
They
love
working
on
computer,
they
love
doing
photocopies
or
whatever
just
being
in
the
office.
That's
just
like
this
isn't
amazing,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
adding
that
as
well,
and
also
I
was
impressed
that
wentworth
institute
is
one
of
the
best
universities
in
massachusetts
in
massachusetts.
G
I
know
I
I
live
actually
two
blocks
away
from
that
place
and
everybody
kept
saying:
why'd,
you
never
go
there.
It
was
like
the
best
one.
The
best
place
like
I
just
never
went
I
I
don't
know
why.
But
when
it
was
univer
went
what
institute
cambridge
college,
I
know
those
colleges,
I
I
have
plans
to
graduate
from
there
so
kudos
to
you.
So
I
say
thank
you.
Thank.
M
A
B
H
A
So
I
don't
know
how
many
of
the
transitional
services
they
have
to
offer,
but
I
mean
I
don't
know
how
much
about
that.
I'm
sure
there's
some
variation,
that
some
places
might
have
different
transitional
services,
but
I'm
not
sure,
but
that's
one
thing
that
I'm
just
thinking
about
the
massachusetts,
rehab,
commission
and
being
involved.
I'm
thinking
that
maybe
it
will
be
wonderful
if
the
city
of
boston
could
do
some
sort
of
collaboration
with
mass
rehab.
A
A
M
So
I
I'm
I'm
a
member
of
a
transition,
coordinated
group
for
different
towns
and
cities
around
the
state
and
so
like
newton's.
A
good
example.
Newton
has
27
students
in
their
18
to
22
year
old
program.
We
have
400
180
to
22
year
olds
in
boston,
public
schools.
Right
so
like
I
go
into
meetings
and
everybody's,
like
you,
you
know
you
can't
even
think
about
the
low
number
we
have
so
I've
always
worked
in
boston,
public
schools.
So
big
numbers,
don't
scare
me
like.
M
I
think
it's
just
what
it
is,
but
I
also
when
I
meet
with
different
departments
in
the
city
like
I'm
like
this.
Is
our
city
right,
like
our
students,
have
the
city
of
austin
at
their
feet,
so
we
should
be
taking
advantage
of
everything.
That's
out
there
and
that's.
Why,
like,
I'm
literally,
we
have
a
liaison
with
the
city
and
I'm,
like
you
know,
like
you,
know,
parks
department.
M
If
a
kid
has
an
interest,
if
a
student
has
an
interest
I'll
be
like
hey,
can
you
connect
me
to
them,
and
I
start
conversations
with
them
to
see
if
we
can
get
students
up,
it
doesn't
always
work,
but
like
another
part
of
this
work,
is
you
can't
be
afraid
to
ask
like
somebody
might
say?
No
to
me
it's
not
going
to
hurt
my
feelings.
I
have
to
get
move
on
to
the
next
thing
for
that
student,
so
other
towns
and
cities
have
their
own
transition
programming.
A
lot
of
them
have
the
macy.
M
They
don't
have
the
mbta
right
like
we
have
the
mbta.
We
have
so
I'm
trying
to
take
advantage
of
everything
that
we
have
out
in
the
city
of
boston.
So
and
again,
it's
you
know.
Mrc
is
a
wonderful
partner,
joe
davis
is
the
area
manager.
I've
been
emailing
with
her
just
this
week.
We
do
a
resource
fair
with
them,
we're
going
to
try
to
really
heighten
it.
Last
year
we
did
a
collaboration,
so
we
could
bring
parents
in
we're
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
parent
education
at
night
about
what
our
transition
services.
M
What
are
the
questions
you're
asking
at
an
iep
meeting
when
it
comes
to
transition
like
where
should
my
student
be
right?
Like
is
what
you
know.
Every
school
is
required
by
law
to
provide
services,
and
we
always
have
to
remember
they
always
look
different
for
everybody.
Ieps
are
individualized,
so
we're
trying
to
work
on
the
skills
that
a
student
needs
to
reach
the
vision
whatever
it
is,
that
they
want
to
do
yes,
we'd
be
sill
as
well.
We
bezel
is
another
one.
The
partner
for
our
pre-ice.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much.
So
that's
a
very
full
answer
for
both
of
my
questions
really.
So
I
appreciate
that
I
would
like
to
also
recognize
darian,
who
is
from
deaf
inc
she's
a
member
of
the
general
public,
and
I
saw
her
I'm
on
the
actual
on
the
board
for
deaf
inc
and
so
darren.
Gambrell
is
the
executive
director
of
deaf
incorporated
and
I
believe
that
she
has
her
hand
up
and
I
apologize
for
having
you
hold,
but
I'm
going
to
have
to
hold
the
question
darian.
A
Okay,
great,
the
interpreter
is
ready.
Hi,
everybody,
hi,
wes,
hello
to
everybody.
Thank
you
so
much
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
just
ask
my
question
and
hello
marcia.
My
name
is
darian
gambrell
and
thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation.
It
was
really
all
it's
always
great
to
hear
that
students
have
a
chance.
I
believe
every
child
has
a
chance
to
learn
for
something
related
to
work,
of
course,
but
my
question
I
have
is
really
two
the
program
at
rcc
key
program.
A
How
does
how
does
that
application
work?
What
does
that
look
like
for
a
student
who's
getting
ready
to
graduate?
So
that's
my
first
question
and
secondly,
I'm
wondering
when
students
are
ready
to
graduate
what's
like,
what's
next
for
them,
if
they've
already
applied
for
mass
rehab
commission
counseling
or
maybe,
if
the
family
steps
in
I'm
just
curious,
what
are
like
next
steps
for
a
kid
who's
graduating
thanks.
M
So
dual
enrollment
may
see
in
the
program
over
at
roxbury
community
college,
which
is
on
hiatus,
are
a
little
challenging
because
in
dual
enrollment
you
can
receive
a
college
credit
but
macy.
You
may
audit
right.
So
it's
everybody
again,
individualized
everybody's
coming
out,
hopefully
gaining
some
experience
in
an
area
that
they're
interested
in.
M
And
I
think
the
most
important
part
of
having
our
students
on
the
college
campuses
is
that
when
they
leave
us,
it's
not
brand
new
to
them
and
it's
not
as
frightening
for
them,
because
they've
had
an
adult
who's
kind
of
supported
them
through
the
program.
I
have
an
amazing
example
from
mass
art
that
I'd
love
to
share.
M
We
had
a
young
gentleman
and
he
had
completed
his
academic
requirements
at
a
local
high
school,
but
he
hadn't
applied
to
college
and
he
wasn't
travel
trained
and
his
mother
was
like
he's
not
ready
to
leave
high
school.
So
we
put
him
over
at
mass
art
in
our
macy
program,
because
art
was
his
area
of
interest
and
within
a
month
he
was
completely
travel
trained.
M
He
got
a
job
in
the
library.
He
got
a
little
job
in
food
services
and
he's
doing
his
second
year
and
he
began
working
over
at
wentworth.
So
we
had
it.
We
were
like
you
have
to
go
up
one
of
the
jobs
so
like
those
are
the
stories
that
like
if
we
can
get
our
students
individually
into
where
they
want,
where
they
want
to
be
they're,
going
to
be
successful.
M
A
M
So
the
most
important
piece
for
anybody:
that's
using
mass
rehab
and
dds
when
you,
when
you
exit
high
school,
your
entitlement
to
special
education
ends.
So
we
call
you
and
say
we
have
to
have
an
iep
meeting.
We
have
to
sign
the
iep.
We
have
to
make
sure
you're
doing
like
boston
schools,
okay,
advocating
when
your
entitlement
ends.
They
call
that
the
cliff
right
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
avoid.
We
want
our
students
connected
and
transitioning
successfully,
so
they
don't
fall
off
a
cliff.
M
So
when
you
apply
to
mass
rehab
and
you
get
connected
to
a
vr
counselor,
it's
up
to
you
to
make
sure
you
make
the
connection.
If
they
set
a
meeting
with
you,
you
have
to
show
up,
they
don't
call
you
right,
dds
same
thing:
we
can
do
a
full
application.
We
can
support
a
family
in
a
full
application
if
they
call
you
for
the
intake
meeting
and
you
don't
show
up,
they
can
close
your
case.
M
We
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
dds
being
like
reopen
that
case.
Right,
like
we
advocate
very,
very
heavily
until
our
students
exit
and
again
my
staff
is
seven
people
but
like
with
our
students,
especially
our
dds
students.
Like
we
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
they're
fully
connected
to
an
adult
agency
before
they
leave.
M
A
A
N
O
P
L
Thank
you.
I
know
it's
my
first
first
meeting
so
this
should
be
my
last
question.
But
it's
it's
more
of
a
comment.
I
think
it's
a
follow-up
to
mr
golovki's
question
about
kind
of
the
the
metrics
of
of
success
and
and
it
it
adds
to
miss
mikash's
comment
of
how
many
interns
are
actually
successfully
getting
hired.
M
H
M
Advice
and
I'm,
I
think,
that's
something
we'll
focus
on
this
year
right
like
seeing,
I
mean,
I
know
where
our
students
that
studio
22.,
I
could
tell
you
where
every
single
one
of
them
went
last
year.
So
I
could
tell
you
that
we
just
haven't
broken
it
down,
like
you
know,
into
a
demographic
like
the
graph,
but
that's
something
we
should
probably
have.
I
should
probably
have
that
ready
for
when
I
do
sped
pack
right,
so
we
can
share
that
and
share
that
with
everybody.
K
P
P
N
A
A
So
my
next
item,
then
to
report
on
is
the
first
day
of
school,
as
we
know
happened
for
many
of
the
boston
public
school
locations
that
was
on
thursday
september
8th
and
on
behalf
of
the
disability,
commission,
paul
and
I
were
able
to
go
over
and
volunteer
with
our
neighborhood
schools.
By
giving
out
pencils
before
the
students
went
in
the
building
into
the
classrooms.
A
A
If
you
can
see,
I'm
holding
the
book
up,
it's
written
by
jeanette,
sadiq
khan
and
seth
solomonov
now
jeannette
was
a
transportation
commissioner
for
new
york
city
under
the
mayor's
office.
That's
when
michael
bloomberg
was
the
so
the
book
is
going
to
help
me
build
a
better
understanding
of
urban
revolutions
for
our
boston
streets
on
top
of
making
sure
that
they're
accessible
to
all.
So
yes,
of
course,
I'll
return
book
back
to
the
little
free
library
when
I'm
done
with
it.
A
A
A
The
fifth
item
that
I
wanted
to
report
on
so
I
have
to
say
today
is
the
last
official
day
of
summer,
and
we
know
the
first
day
of
autumn
is
tomorrow
thursday
september
22nd,
starting
at
9,
03
p.m.
Eastern
standard
time-
and
I
have
to
say
I'm
really
sad
because
the
last
few
weeks
has
been
great
to
me,
and
this
is
probably
one
of
the
best
summers
I've
had
in
recent
memory.
A
A
Okay,
I
guess
then
I
guess,
then
my
report
was
clear
enough,
so
now
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
we
have
our
board
member
spotlight
it's
time
for
board
member
spotlight
and
our
board
member
today
is
supposed
to
be
well.
We
spotlight
one
member
every
month,
but
I
don't
think
that
this
member
is
on
the
call
tonight,
even
though
he
rsvp
that
they
would
be
here.
A
So
maybe
I
will
ask
that
person
if
they
could
do
the
member
spotlight
next
month.
Maybe
I
could
ask
one
of
the
new
members
if
they're
interested
in
spotlighting
next
month,
so
we'll
skip
that
for
tonight
that
agenda
item
for
this
evening
and
now
what
I'll
do
is
hand
over
to
the
commissioner?
So,
commissioner
makash
can
go
ahead,
take
the
floor
and
provide
your
report.
I
Okay,
thanks
everybody:
let's
see,
let
me
just
get
my
computer
set
up
okay,
so
we
can
go
to
the
first
slide
and
I
have
to
say
wes.
You
already
covered
a
lot
of
this
information,
so
thank
you,
but
I
will
just
go
over
a
few
initiatives
that
we're
working
on
so
ada
was
a
few
weeks
ago
we
had
great
weather
and
a
great
turnout,
we're
estimating
it
was
probably
over
200
people.
I
I
I
I
I
second
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
our
bicycle
awareness
campaign
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
while
now,
but
we
are
finishing
the
tool
kit
and
getting
ready
to
launch,
hopefully
in
the
next
month,
so
stay
tuned
and
then
just
following
up
on
the
interest
of
the
boards
expressed
in
mental
health
and
behavioral
health.
The
boston
public
health
commission
has
a
new
behavioral
health
officer
who
just
started
and
we
plan
to
invite
them
to
a
future
meeting.
As
we
continue
to
prioritize
mental
health
and
behavioral
health.
I
I
And
then
some
upcoming
events
in
the
community,
the
city's
equity
and
inclusion
cabinet,
is
hosting
job
and
resource
fairs.
They've
already
held
two
one
was
cancelled,
but
the
last
one
is
on
saturday
october,
8th
at
the
holland
bcyf
center
in
dorchester
from
12
to
3.,
and
I
have
to
say,
the
city
has
a
lot
of
jobs
open.
So
if
you're
interested
or
know
people
who
are
looking
for
work,
please
recommend
this
event.
I
Our
office
is
holding
civic
engagement
day
again
for
any
of
you,
who've
been
on
the
board
for
a
few
years.
You
may
remember
this
event.
We
used
to
hold
it
every
year
and
now
it's
back
after
cobit
and
it's
a
day
where
we
invite
the
public
in
the
disability
community
specifically
to
just
come
into
city
hall,
because
we
know
it
can
be
very
intimidating
if
you've
never
been
in
city
hall.
The
building
looks
very
uninviting
from
the
outside
for
anybody.
I
But
if
you
have
a
disability,
it's
really
difficult
to
navigate
accessible
entrances
and
bathrooms
and
figure
out
how
to
get
to
the
council
chamber.
So
it's
a
great
day
where
we
can
introduce
people
to
their
ons
liaisons
mayor
wu
will
be
attending,
so
they
can
hear
directly
from
the
mayor.
So
we
hope
that
you
will
help
us
spread
the
word
and
we'll
be
sending
out
the
flyer
very
soon
and
then
finally,
the
city
is
holding
some
budget
education
and
engagement
workshops
and
they
specifically
want
to
do.
I
Sessions
for
underrepresented
groups
and
disability
is
a
key
piece
of
this
group,
so
they
want
to
provide
you
information
on
ways
that
you
can
participate
in
the
budget.
It's
not
so
much
a
listening
session
to
directly
participate,
but
they'll
talk
to
you
about
ways
you
can
participate
and
how
you
can
give
input
we're
looking
for
accessible
locations
to
hold
these
workshops.
There
will
be
six
in
total
with
one
designated
for
disability.
I
I
The
registration
deadline
to
vote
is
october
29th
for
the
general
election,
which
will
be
held
on
tuesday
november
8th,
and
we
also
have
accessible
online
electric
electronic
voting.
So
you
first
must
submit
a
vote
by
mail
application
to
the
elections.
Commission,
you
can
do
it
by
mail,
but
it
must
be
received
by
them
by
5
pm.
On
november
1st,
after
your
request
is
approved,
the
elections
department
will
email
you
instructions
for
accessing
the
system
online.
I
J
J
O
Yeah
hi
folks,
katie
collogan
at
the
mbta.
I
specifically
work
on
increasing
access
to
t's
brain
reduces
fair
programs,
but
those
do
include
the
transportation
access
class
for
riders
with
disabilities
and
the
ride
or
the
blind
access
trolley
card
for
riders
who
are
legally
blind,
and
as
of
this
monday,
we
launched
online
applications
for
both
tap
and
blind
access
both
of
these
applications.
In
fact,
all
of
our
online
applications
are
fully
accessible,
they've,
been
tested
by
writers
by
a
third
party
accessibility
vendor
and
are
accessible
to
screen
readers.
O
O
O
Another
cool
feature
of
this
online
application
is
that
someone
could
use
their
mobile
device
to
complete
the
online
application
and
from
their
mobile
device
take
that
photo
and
then
upload
it
directly
to
the
online
application.
So
hopefully
that
makes
for
a
more
seamless
experience
and
then
the
third
step
here
is
providing
documentation
of
a
disability.
O
The
tap
eligibility
criteria
are
kind
of
lengthy,
but
we
try
to
break
it
down
into
three
different
options
to
prove
your
eligibility
here.
The
first
is
one
of
the
automatic
qualifying
disability
categories,
so
a
good
example
is
just
uploading,
a
medicare
card,
or
you
know
your
r
b
disability
placard
and
then
all
those
other
options
as
well
books
who
are
part
of
the
ride
are
automatically
eligible,
so
they
can
just
enter
in
the
right
id
number
and
the
third
one.
O
So
once
people
see
these
options,
they
can
decide
how
they
are
eligible.
They
can
select
how
they're
going
to
proceed.
So
I'm
going
to
say
I'm
going
to
upload
my
medicare
card
the
option
one
and
then
the
forum
will
of
course,
auto
sort
of
fill
itself
out
based
on
what
was
selected
at
the
top
and
then
we're
just
asking
for
basic
personal
information,
name
date
of
birth
contact
information,
which
is
completely
optional.
O
I
will
say,
though,
we
are
encouraging
folks
to
enter
in
their
email
address
information,
because
our
application
system
will
send
email
notifications.
So
once
you
submit
an
application,
you'll
get
an
email
saying
thanks
for
submitting
you,
whatever
your
eligibility.
Determination
is
you'll,
get
an
email
from
us
saying
whether
or
not
you
were
approved.
If
there
are
any
next
steps,
your
card
was
mailed,
for
example,
you'll
get
all
those
notifications
and
then
emergency
contact
information
is
totally
optional
and
then
we
get
to
the
upload
section.
O
O
O
So
we
do
provide
a
bunch
of
different
examples.
So
a
good
example
is
just
an
image
of
clearly
just
your
face,
a
light,
solid
colored
background
neck
up,
and
ideally
maybe
someone
else
is
taking
this
photo
for
you.
But
of
course
no
we'll
accept
a
good
selfie
and
then
the
last
part
is
just
uploading
proof
of
disability.
So
let's
say
I
have
a
medicare
card.
I'll
select,
medicare
card
an
example.
Medicare
card
will
pop
out
at
me
and
then
I
can
go
ahead
and
upload
that
and
then
toward
the
end.
O
Here
I
get
to
select.
Do
I
want
my
card
mailed
to
my
address,
or
do
I
want
to
pick
it
up
in
this
case?
I'd
like
it
mailed
it'll,
ask
me
to
enter
in
my
mailing
address,
but
if
I
say
a
trailer
card
store,
it'll
give
me
the
hours
so
look
the
the
address,
and
then
you
can
see
the
hours
beforehand.
This
is
a
good
way
for
people
to
a
good
way
to
set
expectations.
O
I
don't
want
to
go
to
the
charlie
car
store,
for
example,
I'd
probably
opt
for
it
to
mail
to
my
address
and
then
getting
toward
the
bottom.
Here
we
asked
for
demographic
information
totally
optional.
You
can
skip
this
this
question
and
still
complete
the
form
and
then
the
last
couple
of
sections
here,
just
agreeing
to
the
terms
and
conditions
and
then
just
a
common
disability
release
authorization
and
then.
H
A
That
was
meant
to
be
a
hands
up
icon.
So
my
question,
our
question
for
you
is
that
I'm
actually
really
excited
about
this
new
approach
to
how,
but
I
actually
missed.
I
think
it's
an
interesting
way
of
you're
talking
about
this
is
the
replacement
way.
If
you
need
to
replace
a
card.
Is
this
the
replacement
system
for
getting
your
tap
card?
O
A
A
A
And
I
know
I
know
that
many
disabled
people
here
in
massachusetts
receive
mass
health
benefits
and
that's
actually
under
medicaid.
It's
not
medicare,
so
I'm
not
seeing
anything
about
mass
health
or
medicaid
as
an
acceptable
evidence
that
of
proof
of
disability.
So
what
do
you
have
to
say?
Is
there
anything
that
can
be?
Can
that
be
added
as
a
form
of
proof
of
disability.
O
So
medicare
from
my
understanding
is
a
benefit
for
seniors
and
people
with
disabilities,
whereas
mass
health,
or
at
least
the
majority
of
mass
health
programs,
or
are
for
people
who
are
income
eligible.
We
actually
use
mass
health
as
a
criteria
for
our
past
program,
which
is
a
reduced
air
program
for
young
people
with
low
income.
J
J
We
can
definitely
invite
other
folks
from
the
tea
who
manage
things
like
the
eligibility
and
and
those
sorts
of
program
content,
not
not
in
any
way
to
to
limit
what
you
do.
Katie
it's
very
important,
but
just
wanted
to
let
everyone
know
that
we
had
invited
you
here
to
talk
about
the
application,
which
is
very
exciting,
but
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
from
the
commission
perspective
on
any
of
the
content
yeah.
J
A
E
So
I,
as
a
blind
charlie
card
user,
I'm
thrilled
that
this
I
could
possibly
fill
out
online,
because
I
could
never
find
a
place
underneath
as
a
blind
and
visually
impaired
person.
It
was
hard
for
me
to
find
a
downtown
crossing.
My
question
is,
though,
is
the
application
processed
and
tested
for
those
who
use
screen
readers.
O
A
A
Q
O
I
don't
know
the
actual
status
of
those,
but
they're
expected
to
be
in
boston
by
the
end
of
september.
I
had
a
call
with
those
weeks
ago
about
that.
A
really
positive
update
is
that
we've
removed
personalized
information
from
senior
charlie
cards,
so
they
don't
have
to
go
through
the
extra
steps
that
other
cards
do,
so
those
should
be
easier
to
fulfill.
O
J
J
O
I
I
So
there
were
some
accessibility
issues
reported
to
us
during
the
closure
and
we're
working
to
debrief
with
the
mbta
office
of
system-wide
access
to
see
how
we
can
improve
those
things
short-term
access.
If
and
when
something
like
this
closure
happens
again,
but
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
there
are
several
new
accessibility
improvements
and
I'll
just
go
over
them
really
briefly,
but
we
can
email
my
report
to
you
afterwards,
so
you
have
a
copy
of
it,
but
there
are
60
new
orange
line
over
60
new
orange
line
cars
on
the
tracks.
I
They
finished
repairing
the
elevator
and
forest
hills
station
oak
grove,
station
accessibility,
improvements
include
upgrades
to
the
roof
doors,
windows,
stairs
and
elevators.
Detectable
warnings
were
replaced
at
green
street
roxbury,
crossing
ruggles,
sullivan
and
community
college
and
concrete
and
broken
brick
was
repaired
and
replaced
at
clean
street
mass
ave
back
bay
and
downtown
crossing.
I
I
So
just
a
really
quick
overview
I'll
give
you
and
then
we
can
follow
up
with
more
information,
but
in
chinatown
the
mbta
added
a
new
bus
stop
which
will
create
a
link
for
chinatown
residents
to
the
sl5
silva
line,
huntington
avenue,
bus
and
bike
priority
lane.
It
was
added
temporarily,
but
that
will
be
left
in
place.
I
I
Changes
will
remain
in
place
to
reduce
double
parking
in
the
unprotected
bike
lane
to
make
a
plane
pavement,
markings
and
signage
safety
upgrades
include,
don't
block
the
box
and
parking
restriction,
restrictions
at
corners
to
improve
visibility.
They
call
that
daylighting
so
that
when
you
come
to
a
corner,
you
can
see
around
it
and
you'll
know.
If
there
are
people
coming
or
oncoming
vehicles,
boylston
street
one
way
for
vehicles,
closing
part
of
boylston
street
to
improve
traffic
safety,
copley
square
bus
lanes.
I
J
C
A
A
N
A
E
E
Committees
from
towns
and
municipalities
to
have
remote
access,
if
once
the
emergency
will
expire
in
months.
Of
course,
the
disability
commissions
are
already
exempt
from
that,
but
this
would
apply
to
other
commissions,
but
the
bill
won't
be
filed
until
december
at
the
earliest
and
it
won't
be
given
a
docket
number
until
january-ish.
A
J
Yeah
thanks:
this
is
andrea
thanks,
wes.
The
update
here
is
that
it
is
still
not
filed
yet,
but
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
mayor's
policy
team
to
discuss
the
proposal,
so
we
are
set
to
do
a
little
more
outreach
to
the
business
community
through
the
office
of
economic
opportunity
and
inclusion,
but
we
are
moving
along.
A
Okay,
fingers
crossed
on
this
one,
because
you
know
we've
been
wanting
this
for
quite
some
time
and
I'm
really,
you
know
happy
that
it's
moving
forward
fingers
crossed
all
right
now.
The
next
item
under
old
old
business
is
the
questionnaire
for
the
the
candidates
for
governor,
and
we
know
now
who
are
you
know,
we're
thinking
about
our
next
election.
A
So
these
are
our
potential
candidates,
and
so
we've
got
to
set
questions
for
these
candidates,
and
I
know
that
the
last
time
we
were
when
we
were
they
were
looking
for
the
mayor.
We
had
some
similar.
We
had
a
draft
of
different
questions.
We
could
look
at
some
of
those
if
we
want
to
take
those
or
if
we
want
to
keep
them
or
change
them.
I
don't
know
if
andrea,
I
think
that
you
actually
have
access
to
the
previous
list
of
questions
that
we
use
with
the
mayor's
election
process.
Yeah.

A
If
you
could,
if
you
could
set
up
a
google
doc
with
that
those
archives,
I'm
happy
to
just
take
a
look
at
those
previous
documents.
The
archives
on
that.
So
the
current
board
can
have
access
to
those
archived
documents
and
then
we'll
have
to
figure
out
who
is
going
to
be
able
to
who'll
be
able
to
draft
the
questions
for
this
purpose.
So
there's
someone
from
the
board
who
would
like
to
volunteer
I'm
hoping
olivia
can
help
us
with
that
olivia.
E
A
D
Yes,
you
did
with
I
I
as
carl
mentioned,
though
I
think
you
know,
regardless
of
whether
we
do
we
do
end
up
piggybacking
with
bcil
or
doing
written
questions
separately.
I
think
you
know
we.
We
definitely
could
post
the
those
links
out
to
the
candidate
forums
that
carl
mentioned.
I
believe
the
link
just
went
out
today
for
the
the
forum
with
jeff
deal
next
week,
and
so
I
you
know,
I
think
it
would
be
important.
D
Right
yeah,
I'm
not
I'm
not
saying
that
that
we
should
do
one
over
the
other,
but
I
think
you
know,
since
these
forums
are
open
to
the
disability
community
that
have
already
been
scheduled,
I
think
it
would
behoove
us.
You
know
as
advisory
board
members
to
to
to
let
our
let
our
constituents
know
know
about
the
existing
forms
as
well
as
well,
in
addition
to
whatever
we
do
separately.
A
A
R
We
can
hear
you
thanks,
okay,
so
I'm
actually
thanks
for
choosing
this
order,
because
this
actually
belonged
under
announcements
that
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
folks
know
that
on
september
29th,
the
the
archive
riders
transport
access
group
will
be
hosting
a
general
meeting
to
discuss
the
orange
lines
shut
down
and
then
what
worked
and
what
didn't
during
that
period.
J
J
D
D
You
know,
as
elizabeth
said,
what
went
well,
what
didn't
go
so
well
in
regards
to
the
to
all
the
diversions,
not
just
the
orange
line,
but
but
you
know
the
parts
of
the
green
line
that
that
have
been
diverted
over
the
past.
You
know,
month
or
so
months
or
so
at,
because
we
know
that
you
know,
even
though
they're
not
going
to
have
this
wide
scale,
a
shutdown
is
shutting
down
an
entire
line.
There
are
other
diversions
planned,
so
we
definitely
want
to
want
to
let
the
t
know.
D
You
know
what
went
well,
what
doesn't
what
hasn't
gone?
Well
so
that
they
improve.
You
know
they
can
improve
their
their
their
access
and
and
their
alternative
service
options
for
people
with
disabilities.
Just
you
know
a
personal
side.
It
has.
It
didn't
go
well
for
me
at
all,
so
I'm
sure
that
you
know
similar
folks
have
had
had
other
horror
stories.
So
so
please,
please
either
yourselves
or
get
you
yeah.
Let
your
networks
know
and
and
have
people
have
people
participate.
P
P
B
Yes,
and
for
a
guest
speaker,
like
I
said,
we've
talked
about
it
at
our
executive
committee
meeting.
I
would
like
to
try
to
get
some
what
I
guess:
they're
called
mediators,
I'm
not
sure
from
boston
police
who
handles
cases
with
mental
health.
Maybe
speak
at
one
of
our
upcoming
meetings,
where
it's
not
just
like
an
arrest
is
made
for
people
having
difficulties
with
mental
health,
which
happens
so
many
times,
and
I
know
now
they're
implementing
both
and
disabled
folks
and
disabled
folks,
which
is
you
know,
part
of
physical
mental
disabilities.
A
A
Now
is
there
any
public
imp?
I
know
we're
supposed
to
have
public
input,
but
we've
really
run
out
of
time,
but
is
there
anything
if
you
have
anything,
please
email,
your
public
input
to
disability
at
boston.gov
and
we
one
of
us
will
follow
up
with
that
email,
and
so
I
just
want
to
go
ahead
and
then
ask
carl
to
do
his
famous
duty.
His
famous
motion.
