A Man's Stature is not only Dr. Henry Viscardi Jr.'s autobiography,
but it is also the dramatic account of the events leading up
to the creation of Abilities, Inc. From its humble beginnings in a
Long Island garage, Abilities, Inc. has Brown into an internationally
renowned program that supports thousands of people with
disabilities each year, and the Henry Viscardi School has become
the fulfillment of a life long dream.
Under its new name, tl.re National Center for Disability
Services continues to fulfill Dr. Viscardi's original vision for people
with disabilities. Here, children with disabilities can learn
and grow in a school environment that teaches its students basic
academic skills as it nurtures their need for love and independence.
Each year, hundreds of adults with disabilities gain the
dignity and self-sufficiency that comes from getting their first
jobs. Employers learn how to recruit and hire people with disabilities,
as we explore and develop new technologies and strategies
for enhancing the education and employment of people with
disabilities.
Dr. Henry Viscardi ]r. envisioned that his program would
become a pilot program, a model for all the world to copy, in recognizing
and enhancing the participation and contributions of
people with disabilities in our lives. As we enter the new millennium,
"Hank" has succeeded in making this vision a reality.
