Ginny,
I share in your disappointment with this problem. This is an issue
that I was not aware of. The NFB has broken through many barriers, but there
are some that have borders that we may need to address as a world culture.
This takes me back to my Washington Seminar trip in 2014. I sat in
Sen. John McCain's office and he said that he would be happy to work with us
on our issues. He asked us in return to work on the International
Individuals with Disabilities project to spread opportunities for
individuals beyond our borders. This conversation still haunts me.
I will be meeting with Stephen Maddigan in October, and I will bring
this up in our conversation. Stephen is a (I dare to say The) Narrative
Therapy counselor in Vancouver. As I am still new at how the diagnostic
tools work in America, I am completely unaware of how they work (or don't
work) in Canada. This should give me some insight into the workings of how
Canadian counselors access this information.
I will call Sen. McCain and ask him about this matter and see if he
has any information that could be helpful. This is a very compound issue
that may take some toothpaste and sugar to resolve.
I hope that you can be encouraged through those on this list and
that you are bolstered by their support. Your jocular presence and
explorer's determination are nourishment for our souls.
Stay strong and know that an answer will come! In the Meantime,
perhaps you should write some of this down for publication. Maybe Bookshare
has a deal for authors!
Cheers,
Michael "Big Dog" Abell

Subject: Re: [humanser] DSM 4 and 5 Bookshare
Doesn't work for me! - So this has spurned me on to call Bookshare and call
the CNIB... So listen to this story!!
I am in Canada. Bookshare has an agreement with the CNIB to provide books
to CNIB clients.... BUT many of the books do not have the copyright to
allow Bookshare to pass the books on to clients outside the USA...
Bookshare confirmed that this book is blocked to me. They suggest I contact
"the publisher" to have this book made available to people outside the USA.
So at least I can stop barking up the Bookshare tree for the DSM 5.
So here is another part of the story.
The NFB belongs to the WBU (World Blind Union). The NFB and the WBU have a
goal to "stop the book famine". Only 1-7 % of the world's literary works
are available in accessible format. The WBU has signed a treaty called the
Marakesh Treaty that has to do with the different countries agreeing to
change the copyright laws so that the copyright can be essentially waived in
order to make books available to people across borders who have a print
disability. I do not know how this works, but the WBU then has to get the
governments of the countires to ratify and implemet this agreement to make
this happen. This in on the NFB agenda. I am told Canada has set the
ground work for this. I am also told the US has not donet this yet.
The idea behind the Marakesh treaty is that if a book is available in
accessible format in one country, it can then be made available for people
with print disabilities in other countries.
so there you go!!
So I guess my next task is to contact the APA... and in the meantime while
they figure out if they have any interest in organising their copyright to
allow for little me to read their books from the Bookshare Library... I
guess I should buy the thing as an ebook or get the PDF from the APA.
So I can see why I gave up in despair before. Glad I know the answer now.
Maybe I'll read "The book of Woe" (a criotique of the DSM) which i can get
fro Bookshare for free!!
