Letter to the Editor Summer 2009
A letter to the editor from CSWE executive director, Julia Watkins, in response to JSWVE's special issue on disabilities.

Dear Editors:

We are so pleased to see this special issue on disabilities come to fruition. Having been discussed for years, it is also rewarding to know that the CSWE Council on Social Work Education Council on Disability and Persons with Disabilities was able to participate in a meaningful way and serve as a catalyst for the project’s completion. The Council functions to develop social work education resources that are related to issues surrounding disability and the experiences of individuals with disabilities; to facilitate the full participation of people with disabilities in social work education; and to advocate for inclusion of social, political, and economic matters involving disability and individuals with disabilities in the framework of social work education. Thank you to all the individuals who contributed to the completion of this critical issue of the Journal.
