The Deal with Disability
Monday, September 7th, 2009
Hey, I’m Eva. I’m 26 and a recent college graduate. I like to write, to take Digital photographs, and just chill. But this blog is not about what I like. This blog is about how people treat me. You see, I am physically disabled. Actually “severely” physically disabled. I have Cerebral Palsy, which for me means I can’t walk, speak, or use muscles in traditional ways. I use a power wheelchair to get around and spell out what I want to say on a letterboard.
Extremely well done. This blog (and person) is going places.

Fantastic blog indeed and i KNOW what exactly she is talking about since i face every bit of the same problems, if not more in india where none of the amnesties were built keeping in mind disabled people.
I’m grateful to Eva for her straightforward comments. I learned a lot, and I look forward to keeping up with her blog.
