Next on your reading list should be Emily Ladau's excellent handbook, "Demystifying Disability". Ladau guides the reader on how to be a thoughtful, informed ally to people with disabilities, with actionable steps for what to say and do (and what not to do), and how you can help make the world a more accessible, inclusive place.

Happy Reading! 📚

This fantastic read is Judy Heumann's memoir "Being Heumann". One of the most influential disability rights activists in US history, Judy tells her personal story of fighting for the right to receive an education, have a job, and just be human.

Happy Reading! 📖
