Aimee Mullins: The opportunity of adversity

This video is all over the internet- I saw it last night and wanted to post it. Aimee Mullins, a Paralympic runner, talks about how the language we use about disability impacts our lives and how releasing the concept of normalcy would free the potential of many of our children.

Renee- Thanks for leaving your comment. Just goes to show that posting things I've seen around is worthwhile- sometimes hard to tell as a blogger
