[Access Lunch] Happening Today: Reading for this Week

[Aaron Steinfeld]

I have conflicts today, but this short article my wife wrote a while back
may be of interest for the topic of invisible disabilities. Most people
don't realize she is deaf because her hair hides her cochlear implant and
hearing aid. Her deaf accent is light enough that some people assume she's
from another country. Things changed when she used a wheelchair for a while.
