In this episode I talk to disability writer, photographer, and paraeducator, Michelle Steiner.
Michelle lives with an invisible disability, having been diagnosed as a young child in kindergarten. She has dyscalculia – a math learning disability – limited hand dexterity, and visual perception issues. Her disability has made things such as maths and driving impossible.
Michelle has had articles published on The Mighty, Non-Verbal Learning Project, Dyscalculia Blog, The Reluctant Spoonie, Kalopina Collective, Imagine the World as One Magazine, and Word Gathering. Her photographs were featured in Word Gathering and Independent and Work Ready.
Michelle works as a paraeducator in a school with students with disabilities, and she lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two cats.
In this episode, we discuss travelling with hidden disabilities, Michelle’s own disabilities and how it affects her life and her trips, the first solo trip she went on, and how she’s taken her passion for advocacy and used it in her role as a paraeducator.
