Author Nicole C. Greely’s New Book, “Disparity of Service,” Explores How Economic Decline Often Leads to Cuts to Necessary Educational Programs for Disabled Students
[ad_1]
Shortly before entering her undergraduate education with hopes of pursuing a pre-law degree, author Nicole C. Greely was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and was legally blinded by the disease. Her plans now changed because of the progression of the disease, Greely learned to persevere through the educational system and completed both of her degrees.
“All modern nations have experienced, at one time or another, difficult economic times,” writes Greely. “The United States of America has had its share of economic crises. Such crises result in the disruption of most government budgetary arrangements resulting in the downsizing of budgetary allocations for many services according to government policy priorities. Education is one area usually seriously affected by budget reductions. Various services are either discontinued or reduced to challenging levels. Disabled Student services (DSS) is one such service that has been greatly affected by budgetary reductions (Krupnick 2011). The reduction in services may vary from state to state. This study focuses on Northern California, specifically in the Alameda and Contra Costa counties of the East Bay Area. Research carried out by DRA concluded that ‘although system-wide the community colleges have experienced average cuts of about 2.5%, the cuts to disability services are more than 40%, according to the California Association for Postsecondary Education and Disability’ (Disabled Rights Advocates 2012).
“During such difficult times, students resort to a variety of methods of financing their education, including student employment, financial aid, grants, and assistance from families. The thesis of this paper is that as a direct consequence of the current economic downturn, students with disabilities experience more barriers in postsecondary education than students without disabilities. I will demonstrate that the current economic downturn adversely affects students with disabilities in postsecondary education far more than their peers without disabilities. Consequently, students with disabilities are far more likely not to attain their academic goals.”
Published by Page Publishing, Nicole C. Greely’s enlightening tale was inspired by the author’s own personal hardships and struggles due to multiple sclerosis diagnosis, which led her to interview others with disabilities in higher education to find out about their experiences during difficult economic times. Through her writings, Greely highlights the various issues disabled students often face in acquiring adequate assistance when economic downturns often lead to financial cuts to programs that they rely on to achieve their academic needs, revealing the ever-growing disparity between able-bodied and disabled students.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Disparity of Service” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

STEERus Inc. has launched a free online assessment called the Digital Signal Check, intended to enable business owners to see the difference between their own company description and how AI systems summarize it for potential customers. The River Vale, New Jersey-based company is pairing the tool’s release with a free webinar on October 23.
The launch builds on the work of STEERus founder Loralyn Mears, PhD, a scientist and leadership educator who wrote the book MISINTERPRETED: The Hidden Risk Making Brands & Leaders Invisible in the Age of AI. Mears coined the term Misinterpretation Risk to describe what she argues is a growing gap between what a business says about itself and what AI systems conclude about it after pulling from websites, reviews, listings, social media and news coverage scattered across the internet.
The concern, according to the announcement, is that AI search tools don’t return lists of links the way traditional search engines do. They synthesize scattered information into a single summary or recommendation. If a company has changed its services, pivoted its market, or simply accumulated outdated listings over the years, those older signals don’t disappear on their own, and they can shape what an AI tool tells a customer without the business ever knowing it happened. "Businesses have been taught to ask, ‘Can people find me?’" Mears said in the announcement. "The more important question now may be, ‘When AI finds me, does it understand me correctly?’"
The free webinar, titled "Is AI Search Making Your Business Invisible? 5 Things Every Business Owner Needs to Do Now," runs October 23 from 2 to 3 p.m. ET and is open to business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals. Mears is set to walk through how AI-driven discovery differs from conventional search and outline five steps businesses can take on their own to clean up conflicting digital information. Mears also hosts the Small Biz Stories podcast, now in its sixth season.
STEERus isn’t alone in targeting this concern; other companies have recently introduced similar tools aimed at showing businesses how AI assistants represent their brands, suggesting the question of AI-driven misrepresentation is becoming a broader small-business concern rather than a niche one. Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether tools like this one gain real traction with small business owners or end up as a passing feature of the current AI-search moment.

Rev. Clarence Yordy, a 95-year-old Korean War veteran and former pastor, has published a new collection of sermons titled "In Times Like These, Be Very Sure," through Christian Faith Publishing.
The book gathers sermons described by its publisher as addressing faith, perseverance, healing and purpose, rooted in Scripture and shaped by what the announcement calls real-life experience. According to the publisher’s description, the collection is meant to offer readers a steady voice amid noise and uncertainty, inviting them to pause and reconnect with their faith in the course of daily life.
Yordy brings a long personal history to the material. He served in the Korean War, spent years in pastoral ministry, and raised seven children, with grandchildren and great-grandchildren following. "I wanted to share the lessons I’ve learned across a lifetime of ministry," Yordy said in the announcement. "In times like these, we need anchors of truth that hold steady regardless of the storms around us. My prayer is that these messages help others find that unwavering foundation in Christ."
The publisher describes the sermons as addressing both practical and spiritual questions — encouragement for difficult seasons, Yordy says, alongside what the publisher frames as deeper understanding of what it means to live out faith with conviction.
"In Times Like These, Be Very Sure" is available through Christian Faith Publishing’s website, as well as at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books and Google Play.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the real interest here in the author himself — a 95-year-old minister and veteran putting a lifetime of ministry into print is itself a notable milestone, regardless of how the book performs.
