dis-ABILITY

Living with undiagnosed intellectual disabilities all her life, Tonia D. Johnson in her debut novel, disability: Access Denied for the Underprivileged, my personal memoir living with learning disabilities, candidly shares the struggles and ultimate success despite living with learning disabilities. Disheartened by the systemic cycle and inadequacies of school systems continuing to pass children with a learning disability from one grade to the next without meeting academic requirements, failing to invest in appropriate testing and reasonable accommodations; Johnson is determined and committed to exposing decades of injustices and challenging educational institutions to address and change how they handle people living with learning disabilities.
