It's Not the Disability, It's the System

She was diagnosed with a learning disability before kindergarten. A psychiatrist told her she would have limited jobs. A teacher told her she would never handle college. Michelle Lee Steiner joins Real Human Moments to talk about growing up labeled the outcast, the bullying that escalated to threats, and the friendships she built outside her own school because none had formed inside it. She talks about the singleteacher who told her the one thing nobody else did, that she could. She graduated. She got married. She became a teacher's aide and a published author, and she is still figuring out, one day at a time, how to make her world accessible to her rather than the other way around.
