So… What’s the

point?

Don’t let your

disability hold you

back either!!!

How?

Understand what your disability is! Accept your disability and don’t be bitter! Figure out your strengths and use them to

help! Remember what works for you and do it! Do things for yourself (don’t wait for help)! Ask for help when you really need it! When you fail, keep going!

Will you be on here too?

YOURPICTUREHERE!
