This conversation is not just about illness; it's about identity, agency, and resilience in the face of a system that often overlooks disabled bodies and voices.Sarah shares her journey from being a high school social studies teacher to navigating life with ALS. The importance of patience, presence, and effort in communication, especially when using assistive technology. Accessibility and inclusion should be mandatory, not optional. Let's create spaces that include everyone and challenge the systems that impact mental health. Sara's wisdom and resilience are a testament to the power of advocacy and the importance of listening and learning from marginalized voices.Follow Sarah on Instagram & share her story to support ALS advoca
