Unlike most of the staff at the Infant Toddler Center at California State University, Dominguez Hills, teacher assistant Jennifer Bleidistel shares something in common with many of her young charges: She too has a disability. On Oct. 9, she will be participating in Easter Seals' annual Walk With Me event in Irvine as an Easter Seals Ambassador. She will also be videotaped at work in the Infant Toddler Center next week and introduced at the organization’s national convention this November in Chicago. In addition, she will be featured at Easter Seals events across the country as the National Adult Representative for 2011.
