We are very pleased to have State Senator Daylin Leach blogging with us this week! He was an ally of mine as I traveled troubled waters navigating the waiver system when I got my first full-time job, so I can personally attest to Daylin's commitment to this issue. In this post he shows how vital [...]
In the fourth quarter of 2013 we launched disABLE The Brand. The success of the Brand thus far can be attributed to all of those who recognize that a personâs disability does not âdisableâ the individual. Being disabled is only a frame of mind. Here are some statistics that show our success in just three [...]
I went on over thirty interviews before I was finally offered two different full-time positions. Having a degree in finance and two internships under my belt, I was given interviews at top-notch companies such as Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and many more highly regarded finance companies. It wasnât until I read How [...]

If youâre an avid disablethebrand.com reader, youâve already read about some of the challenges we face; from dating with Morgan Duffy to apartment hunting with Jimmy Curran. While I concede that these things are especially difficult for the disabled, they are not inherently [...]

First, I lived in a dorm setting at Temple University, then in a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate in downtown Philadelphia, and, finally, most recently I moved into a one-bedroom condo also in downtown Philadelphia by myself. Each scenario has come with new [...]
For our second featured blogger, we have a good friend of many years, Morgan Duffy! Her and I met when we were kids at Muscular Dystrophy Camp at the Variety Club. We are very grateful she is willing to share her experience with online dating! When Jack asked if I was in an accident, I [...]
The other day a girl approached me while I was out, and in the course of our conversation she went on to tell me about her cousin who "was born with a severe disadvantage also." "Disadvantage?" I thought to myself. Immediately dismissing this girl as a desirable take home candidate, I began to think about [...]
For our first featured guest, I would like to introduce super-producer Simon Illa. Simon has been a mentor to me since we met over 10 years ago. As a young person with a disability, he was one of the first adults I met living independently with a significant physical disability similar to my own. Under [...]
The purpose of this blog is to humanize the brand, and to share my own story as well as other's who are disabling their limits to work toward their dream. If you know someone who inspires you in the way they disable their limits to achieve their goals, please nominate them to be featured on the [...]
