A Shadow Play: Considering the Effects of Walls on Mental Health
Within every brick found in every wall around the world, there is an autocratic assurance of peace. Each brick is a word in a statement that proudly proclaims, “You are now safe.” When the light of the day shines on each and every wall in the world, shadows are cast which no one can escape. In this darkness, we forget what it means to be human. Empathy is abandoned.

In “Preparation, Execution, and Follow-up (PEF): Getting Work Right,” we offer a formula for good work. Using PEF, one can carry out job assignments successfully, even from home, without supervision.

In April 2019, Dr. Walker and Ms. Sizemore published an article, “Effort Testing in Forensic Vocational Assessment,” in The Rehabilitation Professional, Vol. 27, Issue 1, p 49-54.
First published nearly 26 years ago, Dr. Walker's article, “The Difference Between Impairment & Disability: A distinction worth making," remains a topic of strong interest in the scientific community. With over 3,500 reads on ResearchGate, the article, clearly the seminal discussion regarding the distinction between impairment and disability within the workplace, remains noteworthy.

Will the Children Save Us?
In case you did not notice, the recent political debates that captured the attention of both Democratic and Republican candidates for state and national offices did not seem to include climate change, and if those debates did reference global warming, that topic and the reported positions of those parties failed to reach mainstream media.
