Hidden Disabilities - A Disability Awareness Month post with Ginger Ragaishis

With Disability Awareness Month upon us, it seemed like a good time to talk about hidden disabilities. Miss Southern Vermont's Teen Ginger Ragaishis has been a fierce advocate for hidden disability awareness, through her Defying Limits website. She has advocated for people, like herself, with a hidden disability, urging them not to limit themselves.

To help with that goal, we wanted to share a video Ginger has made talking about hidden disabilities. This is a video adaptation of a slide show presentation she gives to students, 3rd grade and above. It’s a great way for her to start a discussion on hidden disabilities and is definitely worth the watch.




As we go through Disability Awareness Month, or any month really, I encourage you to visit the Defying Limits website and Ginger's YouTube channel to learn more about hidden disabilities.
