In addition to your obvious passion for communicating with persons in the disability community, you have a great message for the non-disabled community. Your observations and experiential understanding of being disabled in a nondisabled world has the potential to open a lot to eyes and cause people to reconsider the prism through which they view disability…” Vik Logan, event attendee
