This guide is based on my experiences volunteering and working with people with disabilities since 1995, and then developing my own disabilities in 2003. I began practicing mindfulness at that time as a way of coping and found the practices immensely helpful. I also discovered unique challenges to accessing traditional meditation practices, and very few available resources.

Mindfulness practices offer such gifts; I hope the guide helps support you and others in practice.
