While we mourn, please remember that tragedies create both physical and invisible disabilities. Those impacted by today’s events are likely to have mental health diagnoses which will complicate interactions and treatment for other, unrelated heath concerns that may arise in the future. Additionally, they will have new accessibility needs. While you are calling to register your feelings about today’s events with your congressional representatives, please make mention of #HR620, a bill that would alter the #ADA, rolling back civil rights for disabled people, present and future. Thank you. [#imagedescription: #hospitalglam image of me, standing between the curtain and bed in an exam room. I do not appear sick.
