This website is intended for people and professionals wanting to know more about personal healing and growth following a disability. Far too often, disability has been perceived and described as a negative event but it doesn’t have to be that way, especially given the fact that many learn to view their situation in a much more positive light. Positive coping following disability means that people learn to deal with, move past, and rise above their situation so they can strive to create the life they seek.
Dr. Stuntzner is the Director of Accessible Education at Southwestern Oregon Community College and Part-time Lecturer for the Rehabilitation Services and Counseling Program at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley located in Edinburg, TX. Dr. Stuntzner is passionate about helping people find their way to a better place following disability and working with people as they learn new ways of coping and living life when disability is a part of it.
More specifically, she is devoted to helping people and professionals understand the experience of disability from a holistic perspective and to assist them in learning more about the positive side of life following disability and in creating the best life possible.
