Caregiving

I'm using a new device that is a dental retainer with a touchpad embedded in it. With the flick of my tongue, I'm controlling the AC, turning lights on and off, and writing this post to you right now!

I can get into most places, and Zoom when I'm at home. The difference is the ADA.

The Americans With Disabilities Act was signed 36 years ago, and it's a reason July is Disability Pride Month.

What affects people with disabilities, affects us all. What helps people with disabilities, helps us all. Be an ally, be an advocate.
