Superheroes can have disabilities, too

"Today, more students are disclosing and speaking out about their disability and how their disability is an asset to their way of learning and what they can bring to their field. Across college campuses, more student-led organizations are forming to promote initiatives to identify and remove structural and systematic barriers to ensure equal access in all aspects of the educational experience. While aging clinicians may have had to live in the shadows with their disabilities, we have a new generation of aspiring clinicians who want to be "out" with their disability and share their experiences to bring more representation to their respective fields. It seems like a new generation of real superheroes is in the making." Marie Lusk is a social worker and disability specialist.
