Thriving While Disabled: Recognizing Bias - Paperback

by Alison Hayes (Author)

For people with disabilities, the system is BROKEN - but we deserve to THRIVE anyway. This book shows you how to do just that.

Thriving While Disabled: Recognizing Bias reveals the structures that support and those that tear down people with disabilities. It includes guidance to help anyone with a disability navigate the ableism that impacts every aspect of our lives.

This book is deeply rooted in and shares Alison's lived experience of her own disabilities and the roadblocks that biased organizations and society have erected.

Alison's mantra is "The system is broken, but you can thrive despite that."

This book teaches you:

• What ableism is and how it impacts your life and finances
• The relationship between ableism and classism, and why it matters
• The new social dangers you may need to anticipate
• Self-care tools to help you find your "new normal" and reframe life's challenges
• The unique risks and benefits that accompany having a disability while hitting life milestones
