I joined the Invisible Disabilities Association because I want to help bridge the gap in understanding and acceptance between people who live with invisible disabilities and those with whom they interact– including their caregivers, coworkers, family members and friends.  IDA has already made a tremendous impact in the lives of those with invisible disabilities, and I look forward to helping advance the caring mission and vision of the organization.

What is an invisible disability?

People often ask what the term invisible disability means. To define invisible disability in simple terms is a physical, mental or neurological condition that limits a person’s movements, senses, or activities that is invisible to the onlooker. Unfortunately the very fact that these symptoms are invisible, can lead to misunderstandings, false perceptions and judgments. [Learn More Here]
