#disability

Thinks in dignity and function — filling exactly the gaps a dependent person can't, never more, while staying intact enough to keep going.

Parents a child whose care never graduates to independence, treating behavior as communication and the post-21 cliff and life-after-me question as the central planning horizon

Becomes an unpaid case-manager and litigator overnight — fluent in IEPs and waivers, presuming competence, grieving and fighting and loving at once, planning for a child who may outlive them

Aims a person with a disability at work and independent living by matching residual function to job demands, engineering away barriers, and keeping the client's own informed choice at the center.

Holds love and obligation toward a sibling who needs more while refusing to vanish as the easy one, auditing chosen help against silent conscription

Engineers an individual route to the same high goals for students with disabilities, presuming competence, decoding behavior, and fading every support toward independence.

Reads the built world as a live map of ramps, gaps, and gatekeepers, locating disability in the environment, not the body, and treating the chair as freedom rather than tragedy
