Welcome!

My name is Jessica, I am 34 years old. I am An inspiring poet and writer. My two passions in life have always been the creative arts and people, I also consider myself to be an advocate for people with disabilities, both visible and invisible. Being wheelchair bound by Spastic Cerebral Palsy since the age of four. I grew up in the special education system, and once I turned 18 years old and began to move into the "real world" the shift in services that the state provides to you as a child v.s. the services you have to choose from going into adulthood is very wide; too wide in my opinion. Which brings me to why I wanted to start this blog. While I respect all the information, and resources that is readily available for children with disabilities, the little to no services to help them transition into adulthood once they reach the legal age of 18 is extremely frustrating. It is my hope that with this blog, I can reach out to people in both the visible and invisible disabled community, and be an ally to them. It is also hope that as this blog grows; we grow to help one another. And to help the world to understand just how important it is to not only be recognized as part of society, but to be seen as equals. I hope that when you come to my blog that you find it to be a safe, and welcoming place to share and be heard. Take care! - Jessica

I have had to make the difficult choice to make the facebook group community for the abler blog private indefinitely. Someone has attempted to gain access to the group recently using. my name and the abler’s. claiming to be an actor. They went as far as to even create a facebook page with the same false information. I have since then blocked and reported both personas. It is my hope that the activity in the group remains positive and on-going. My number one priority when I began my work with the abler eight years ago, was to provide a place to share not only my opinions and insights on various topics considered ...

Introduction: Hello Everyone! We’re officially back from our summer hiatus! I am thrilled to announce that we’re back with an all-new book review! It’s a fiction young adult novel by a prolific writer, Amy Beth Outland. The book is called, “Roll With The Punches.” “Roll With The Punches” Is the latest book in Ms. Outland’s series entitled, “ I’m Not Broken Series.” I met Amy online through a mutual friend. Being that we both share a love for writing and poetry. (Amy also writes poetry). When Amy first began promoting her current book online, I jumped at the chance to get an advanced proof copy of the book to have the opportunity to read her work for the first time. I have to admit right off the bat that I haven’t read any young adult fiction in a very long time. I was nervous to read it for no other reason than that I felt “rusty.” I hadn’t read anything unrelated to my writing endeavors for quite a while. This was one of the first times I looked forward to reading somethi...
