I created a blog from papers I wrote in college. As a simple way of protesting the non existent material about disability in literally every single program, I linked all of my assignments to disability.

I then created a consulting company from the research.

I have since spoken to Doctors, Pain Fellows and workplaces sharing my writing and experience of pain.

From the concrete, a small sprout makes its way through.

Accommodations: an individual-level change or an organizational-level change?

This space is a system - do you integrate me into the system, or, do you integrate the system to me? When I enter into it with my accommodation, the whole space shifts, the whole system shifts. Yet, accommodations have been applied in an isolated way.
