Disability Positivity

Hello, I am a 24 year old young adult, who lives in Toronto’s West end, and I have Cerebral Palsy which impacts my ability to function everyday. Every person who has a disability needs support with a variety of tasks, but for myself the support is mainly related to physical tasks such as transferring from my wheelchair to bed, toileting, eating, going for walks or dressing for everyday life.  This support may also include getting me out to just have a good time in my community. Regardless of  my physical limitations, I enjoy doing a variety of activities such as having coffee in parks, going for a walk down to the lake, traveling, watching movies, volunteering with multiple organizations and making iMovies.

Why blog?

When I graduated High School I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. However I have always had a passion for helping people with disabilities. This is when I started volunteering for multiple organizations like March Of Dimes Canada and Let’s Grow, a day program for disabled adults. Even though these opportunities are on-going I felt there was still something missing, so that’s when I came up with the idea of creating my own blog. People think being disabled is a negative thing but the truth is that it’s not. I want to be able to focus this blog on all the positive outcomes you can create when being disabled.
