Anecdotes

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

We have launched the Anecdotes section of the site where we catalog individual accounts of living with disability. These pages can be triggering and carry a warning at the top of the page so you know the page includes an individual’s experiences.

Please note: This section is searchable but kept independent of the main knowledge base to prevent polluting the main knowledge base content.
