It's dangerously cold, so I scheduled a rideshare instead of walking home. Made a note in my reservation that I have a service animal.
Waited 20 minutes. Driver would not let me in b/c of my dog and became hostile.
Walked home.
Not OK.

In literature, people with disabilities often fit into these tropes.
1) An oracle or sage
2) A villain
3) A pitiable figure
Rarely are they developed characters with depth.
Any book recommendations where a protagonist has a #Disability and doesn't fit these tropes??

How can I present a powerpoint and be #Blind?
Here's what I have to do:
1) Memorize the order of my slides or use large marker images
2) Memorize each slide
3) Hope my slide count isn't off 😓

All guide dogs are service animals, but not all service animals are guide dogs.
Guide dog training consists of
🐶 1 year with a puppy raiser
🏫 1 year at an accredited school
❤️ 1 month with their matched handler
Basically, they are whizzes at Guide Dogology. 🤓

Over 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability.
Medical education lacks training on #InclusiveHealthcare. This gap leads to misunderstandings, inaccessible healthcare, and poorer health outcomes.
