I am a person with dwarfism.
My name is Meg Weber. I was born with achondroplasia. I grew up in a home with able-bodied, average-size parents and siblings. I bring a unique experience and story to my work in educating others about disability and how to be an advocate.
I lead talks and educational workshops in schools, conferences and nonprofit organizations, about disability and how to be an ally. I taught elementary school for over 25 years and educated a great many students and parents about disability and advocacy. I developed disability curriculum, and schools teach it in their classrooms today.
As a person with dwarfism, I live as a successful adult with a disability. I bring that experience to students, teachers, and workplace teams who want to build real disability awareness — and I teach them how to advocate for people with disabilities.
The practice of knowing, acknowledging, and accepting individuals' experiences as they relate to disability.
