Happy !
October 18-24 is Invisible Disabilities Week, a time to raise awareness of disabilities that may not be immediately apparent, including chronic pain, mental health conditions, dyslexia, neurological conditions, and more.
People with invisible disabilities may encounter assumptions or misunderstandings because others can't see what they are experiencing. Here are a few things we can all practice:
❤️ Believe people when they share their experiences.
❤️ Don't make assumptions about someone's abilities or support needs.
❤️ Respect privacy. No one owes you their medical history.
❤️ Remember that accessibility and accommodations matter, even when a disability isn't visible.
You can share your support by and on social media.
What's one thing you wish more people understood about invisible disabilities? 💭
