Welcome to DAAF: Florida
“I’ve only been in a wheelchair for about a year, and it’s profoundly affected how I view the world. I’m still struggling to understand my limits compared to what I used to be able to do.”
Stephen, Paraplegic
“When people talk to me after noticing I’m blind, I can hear the pity in their voices. I don’t want to be pitied. I want to be treated as an equal, not as a victim of circumstance.”
Michael, blind from a young age
“The world is a lot bigger through my eyes. A small trip to the bus stop can feel like a long journey.”
Devin, Paraplegic
“Some days, I feel like everyone is looking at me like I’m inconveniencing them just by existing. We need an open dialogue to find out what the cause of these stigmas are.”
Sam, Paraplegic
“My friends often see the world differently just by intereacting with me they notice things and think of the problems they haven’t before. I wanted to make the greater public “think” and “notice, but I haven’t heard of a nonprofit that presents the world from the disability perspective.”
Ralph Strzalkowski, President, DAAF
