I'm not able to return to work and have had to apply pfor disability.
Society is not very kind or accommodating to those of us that they consider less than whole.
ADA likes to talk a good talk, but when it gets down to brass tacks it's just empty pfeel good talk pfor them ...
What a disabled person has to go through to get a reasonable accommodation is unconscionable!
If I see somebody struggling, I'm going to help if I can and if I cant ...
I'm certainly not going to throw more stumbling blocks in their path!
If everybody would just do right, there wouldn't be any wrong ...

Sending you cyber hugs 🤗. So very, very true. I’ll never forget the red tape I was put through applying for SSDI.
My teenager has been attending virtual school (high school). It took over three weeks before we received a response and appointment for an IEP meeting (accommodations). The principal of the virtual school seemed to be full of ableism. My elementary school niece and nephew had a similar situation. They both have learning disabilities which somehow were removed off their IEPs this year without medical documentation that supported the removal. Their learning disabilities have been added back.
I’ve read posts from parents speaking up about school administrators and staff not following students IEPs./504s. Plus using Covid19 as a reason to not follow students IEPs and 504s. I know you deal with a lot of pain and it’s hard not being able to work because of disabilities. We know when our bodies can not handle working or working full-time. I’ll definitely keep you in my thoughts.
