Description

What is a learning disability, and how does it look on the inside? On this episode of “Enable: The Disability Podcast,” writer, photographer and para educator Michelle Steiner talks about being diagnosed with dyscalculia, a learning disability that affects numerical processing, mathematics, and spatial awareness (like right vs. left). She also has issues with visual perception and limited hand dexterity, so things like driving and opening doors are especially difficult.
