Enter the fray...

Hello and welcome to my blog! Here I'll be speaking about and commenting on all issues under the sun that relate to disability and disabled persons. For those in the know -- that is for people who have an understanding of this subject because they have a disability or those who are very close to a person with a disability -- this is a huge topic with endless variance and nuances. So let me first start by formally stating that what is said here is not the Gospel of Disability (obviously). I am merely sharing my direct experience of being a disabled person and being a social worker whose clients are primarily persons with a physical and mental disability. If I've learned anything from my experiences in life it's that what is successful for person A doesn't automatically translate to a solution for person B.


So onward and upward. I promise to not always be so redundant but my first post will revisit much of what is stated in the "about me" section of my profile...
