My hearing aids are special-ordered “Apple white.” I have always rejected the flesh tone colors I was offered, because I see no reason to try to “hide” these life expanding and even stylish devices. Do you want flesh-colored eye-glasses or air pods??? #DisabilityPositive
I’m watching @BBC4 and feeling inspired by @samrenke on The Disability Paradox with @chrislynchfilm Perhaps if society valued people equally, & understood the resilience people build against the stigma of disability, things could change. #disabilitypositive ❤️

We believe in the social model of disability where people are not disabled by their condition, but by a world that doesn’t meet their needs.
We want to create a world with equal access to education, work and life. Can you support us?
