“On privilege and taking the stairs” by Sara Moon
This is a wonderful blog post about privilege and quite a bit of it is about able-bodied privilege.

“Imagine you’re an able-bodied person. You are in great shape and everyday you take the stairs to your second story apartment. It’s good exercise, after all. You don’t even think twice about taking the elevator.

Then, one day you invite a friend over to your apartment after work. As you and your friend cross the apartment complex’s lobby, you go straight to the stairs like you always do.

But what if your friend is not as able-bodied as you are? What if she has a disability that prevents her from climbing the stairs? What you do without thinking twice puts your friend in an awkward position.”

“Helping Hands Monkey Helpers”
“Since 1979, Helping Hands and their monkey helpers have given adults with spinal cord injuries or other mobility impairments the priceless gift of independence, companionship and hope. They do this by providing individuals with a unique service animal: a highly trained capuchin monkey.”
