Centenary University Takes the Fear and Stigma Out of Disability Services

By Marsali Endrizzi

I haven’t always been disabled. When I got sick, it changed a lot of things. Not only did I suddenly have physical limitations to the things I normally did. But I suddenly had to change and modify nearly everything. With other things, I simply had to accept that I couldn’t do them anymore. It changed my identity. While I don’t view myself as “disabled”, there are clear indicators that I am. Every day there are things that physically remind me that there are now limits to what I can do. Every day, I am faced with these limitations I cannot deny or hide from.
