Celebrating Disability Aids Because...
I love the common everyday things that most people don't think of as disability aids: multifocal contact lenses so I can see both near and far, insoles so my knees don't hurt, a smartwatch I use to track my water intake so I stay hydrated, the phone camera I use to zoom in on fine-print ingredient lists so I can be sure I avoid allergens, a deep bathtub where I soak away my aches, a single-unit washer-dryer so I don't hurt my back moving heavy wet laundry from one machine to another and a laundry table the right height for folding clothes without hurting my arms or shoulders. Grateful for each and every one.
When you start really looking around and thinking, you realize there are so many aids out there. Some of them are just more accepted or more of a 'normal' item.
Thanks for sharing!

For Disability Pride Month I asked the community to send in little submissions sharing what you love about your aids and how they improve your life. I'll be posting the asks individually like this but I'll also collect them into one big post (or a few, depending on how many I receive) closer to the end of the month. If you'd like to join in, send an ask/submission or add a comment here ✌️
