I'm a mom like so many of you!
I would like to talk a little about "Disability Etiquette"! There are so many misconceptions about people living with disability!
I live with Multiple Sclerosis, I was not "stricken" with Multiple Sclerosis!
I use my wheelchair, I'm not confined to it!
Being crippled, retarded, hearing impaired and so many other terms are no longer used.. Disabled, developmentally disabled, deaf are acceptable terms.
Disability is a natural part of human life. People with disabilities come from all walks of life! Those of us living with disabilities contribute to society because of who we are! We are brave souls determined to live life to it's fullest!
There is a booklet you can download from United spinal.org Check it out! Click here
