I love this movie because it shows the history of having a disability in the United States. I would strongly recommend Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution on Netflix. Love it!! As good as the movie has given a sliver of insight into the world of what it is like having a disability, I feel we […]

Changing our minds!
Change Our Minds Admitting we are wrong is painful, it could be a sign of weakness-but what if we take a more flexible approach?
