Above and Beyond!

What people with a disability should know is that whatever they feel of themselves that is negative, it is not their fault. Their disability is not within them but it is socially structured upon them. Yes, they may be different but society is what makes them different by not adjusting the world around us to fit their lifestyle. Some progress is happening like automatic doors in buildings, elevators in school, and wheelchair ramps (Class Discussion Sept 8 - Oct 20, 2011). Although this is a good start, there are more we should be doing with our tax money to improve. This a chance where we can make a change. As allies, there are many things we can do to advocate. The least we can do is to become a teacher. We should "bring knowlege and engage learners" (Class Discussion Sept 8 - Oct 20, 2011). One at a time, we can go above and beyond!
