'Hidden disabilities vs visible disabilities. What is the difference with regards to daily interaction and help? - Alison Jenkinson, Anna Goldhawk
There are times when we all need assistance. Whether a disability is unseen or evident, how can help be provided if there is embarrassment or lack of awareness or a fear of misunderstanding? What role does individual confidence play in the daily physicality and psychology of being disabled, while interacting in able-bodied societal structures?
