For children with disabilities education is doubly challenging. Educational systems must accommodate their needs operationally, but technology must continually innovate.

Today is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities. As the only person with Cerebral Palsy to be a member of Ontario Legislative Assembly, I wrote to Minister @RaymondChoPC to express my disappointment with this government’s handling of accessibility in the province:

A great accessibility solution from Dr. Purdy! However it shouldn't be the burden of individuals to make their environment more accessible. Healthcare needs universal design!

What a Paralympic debut for Dr. Julia Hanes. She had the Paralympic record in her classification before he was surpassed by the next competitor. She finishes 8th overall in the javelin F33. A doctor. Wheelchair basketball. Para ice hockey. Wheelchair rugby. She does it all.
