About Disability Writer
Disability-inclusive content strategy grounded in lived experience
You know, it’s funny how life experiences shape what you do.
For me, that combination has become a powerful commitment to delivering a disability-inclusive content strategy that works.
On the one hand, my time in teaching and disability work made me the kind of person who proofreads a street sign. Details? I see them everywhere.
On the other hand, my lived experience as a neurodivergent woman and mom means I have a built-in radar for what's authentic, what's risky, and what simply isn't connecting.
So yeah, I'm the content strategist and writer you've been looking for. (Me grinning).
The one who understands that an effective disability-inclusive content strategy comes from truly getting it.
That's the care and attention I bring to every project.
The work that gets people hooked on your mission, not just your product or service.
And that's where my story begins.
The journey to partnership: How Disability Writer started in September 2022
For years, I poured my heart into helping our one-in-a-million Lara guide dog school thrive—first as co-founder and guide dog mobility instructor, then as head of content creation.
It was the kind of work that filled me up: stories of loyalty, independence, and hope.
Then, in May 2021, everything shifted. My son was diagnosed with epilepsy, and suddenly I was balancing medical bills, mental health, and the life I was trying to hold together.
Starting my own business felt like jumping without a net, a little wobbly, a lot hopeful.
As a woman with ADHD, I knew what it meant to think differently, to find clarity in chaos, and to build systems that actually work for real humans.
I didn’t know what being a “content writer” truly meant, but I knew I could write. I began guest posting for guide dog schools and nonprofits, never expecting to get paid.
But one story led to another, and before long, I had real clients.
Today, I work with brands across the US, Canada, and the UK that share my belief in a more disability-inclusive world. I help them craft content that feels good, reads effortlessly, and connects deeply—the kind that turns awareness into real change.
Stay bright. Lia xoxo
