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.
