The Ability in Disability: July 2010
http://theabilityindisability.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The Ability in Disability. Providing social, political and cultural commentary on issues relating to people with disabilities. Saturday, 31 July 2010. I did a forward roll to prove I could do one. And I did! Yesterday I did a forward roll (somersault) on the floor at work in front of my colleagues. I had a rather tight pencil skirt on, so the challenge was to do it gracefully. No, the challenge was to do it at all. Even this morning, my upper body is still sore from this one forward roll. Maybe it's ...

The Ability in Disability: Message to parents
http://theabilityindisability.blogspot.com/2010/07/message-to-parents.html
The Ability in Disability. Providing social, political and cultural commentary on issues relating to people with disabilities. Sunday, 4 July 2010. If you have seven children and they're all peering out of a car window at a person who looks different, do something about it. Especially if they've got their faces smooshed against the window, poking their tongues out and shouting taunts. A bit like this. But five more monkeys, like stacks on, all trying to get a look at that person who looks different.

The Ability in Disability: Body image and disability article on the DiVine site
http://theabilityindisability.blogspot.com/2010/08/body-image-and-disability-article-on.html
The Ability in Disability. Providing social, political and cultural commentary on issues relating to people with disabilities. Tuesday, 10 August 2010. Body image and disability article on the DiVine site. I finished the body image article that I mentioned on my blog a couple of months back. It's been published on DiVine and you can read it here. Love the skin you're in. I am really pleased with how it turned out - it was interesting to write and research it, and an issue close to my heart.

The Ability in Disability: The cost of having a chronic illness - where's the support for the employed?
http://theabilityindisability.blogspot.com/2010/06/cost-of-having-chronic-illness-wheres.html
The Ability in Disability. Providing social, political and cultural commentary on issues relating to people with disabilities. Wednesday, 2 June 2010. The cost of having a chronic illness - where's the support for the employed? I was born with my chronic illness - a skin condition called ichythosis form erythroderma. It means scaly red skin. It's not just a bit of eczema on the back of the knee. It will never go away. And nor will the cost of it. My question was heard. There is the PBS Safety Net. I admi...

The Ability in Disability. Providing social, political and cultural commentary on issues relating to people with disabilities. Thursday, 24 June 2010. I recently went on a trip to Sydney for work. My colleagues saw me off to the taxi rank at about 9:30 pm. It was dark, and I was in an unknown suburb of Sydney. I'm confident catching public transport and taxis alone - I do it all the time in Melbourne. I always try to be aware and alert when alone at night. The second driver didn't speak much English eith...
