Thinking with our materials this week and earlier content on equitable family support, what do you think are some differences between a disability justice approach to family support and traditional service delivery models?

Drawing on the Teen Vogue article, reflect on how the pandemic has impacted your own ways of thinking about and practicing community and accessibility. Does any part of the article resonate with your own experience?
