The Disabled Card

Welcome to the Living With Disabilities Advocacy website. First and foremost. Self-published author Katrina Smith, a person of many accomplishments, has written six volumes in total: two cookbooks and four collections of poetry. Her favorite activities include reading and writing. Katrina would be described by one word: determined. Despite any challenges she may encounter, she does not let unkind comments decide her fate.

 This week's discussion is about using the disability card, and when and when not to use the disability card. Living With Disabilities isn't talking on the base of a placard. 

 Let's start by stating that having a disability isn't a life filled with freebies; a person who has a disability should get treated like everyone else.

How does the disabled card function? What is it? The disability insurance benefit comes first. However, this is not what the phrase "Living With Disability" refers to.

Some members of our community will abuse their "disability." When members of your community abuse their disabilities, it reflects poorly on everyone in the community. When they see things that need fixing in their community, they will do their hardest to advocate for change. Then some will abuse their disability in a way to get freebies and everything else because they feel they should be treated differently.

 
 Disability does not give you a discount or the right to be treated any differently than the bodies of other people who are both disabled or abled. Every person has unique obstacles in life, which is a true mental exercise and not a game with easy courses. the host, Katrina Smith, reported.

What makes everyone different? We're given a disability either through birth or developed early or later in life. A disability isn't a get-out jail card in the game of monopoly, if you do wrong you shall deal with the consequences just like anyone else.

Disability equals freebies!!!

 As was previously mentioned, having a disability does not entitle you to benefits or the right to be treated differently from other persons who have both physical and mental disabilities. It is a take-it-or-leave-it scenario if a business offers a discount; never, ever downplay your disability to please others. Apply your disability card correctly. When you require medical attention, go to your doctor.

Last but not least, instead of demonizing the community, develop ways that work for you to help society comprehend your condition or other disabilities. The current state of society must be fundamentally altered. If a change is to happen, it must come from the disabled community.

Here is an amazing activist who is making a difference in the world.

Living With Disabilities will provide some background information about Priya Ray, the co-founder of DIYabled. In 2015, The host, Katrina Smith, had the privilege of speaking with Priya. She performs in the 1992-founded band Kreamy "Lectric Santa." Priya hurt herself around that time in 1992 and suffered a spinal cord injury. After her injury, she started advocating for people with disabilities.
 Priya has found her way into advocating through DIYabled and in person away from DIYabled. Her website is a nonprofit organization that educates people about disability and accessibility.

🆕Strength full circle

  I'm glad you're here, Strength's full circle! To help you understand the content and how you, too, can have a positive impact on the topic, Living With Disabilities will break it down in this section.

    This article's main goal is to convince you that your disability does not set you apart from other people in any way. Don't seek sympathy; instead, use your disability to enlighten others. Make the most of the knowledge you have acquired via it to shine and demonstrate your talent. Find your path, how you'll shine through it, and develop into the strongest advocate you can be. Recognize that speaking up doesn't happen for money; it happens because a voice has to be heard, and heard loudly. On that note, just be mindful of your needs and know that this does not undermine your ability to make a big contribution to society. Start illuminating the path as brightly as you can and add a reminder to your calendar.
