Hidden Disabilities
Not all disabilities are visible: be kind, respectful and never assume. In their video series, SUSU spoke to students about their experiences with hidden disabilities, including Fibromyalgia and autism spectrum disorder. You can watch the full playlist here: Hidden Disabilities. Look out for more videos coming soon where students share their experiences with disability, and what we can all do to better support people with disabilities.
