Glenda discovered blogging four years ago. In doing so, this insightful and humorous woman, who doctors labeled as “non-verbal” because of her cerebral palsy, found a way to communicate with the world. She found her voice. Known as the Left Thumb Blogger, her warm and welcoming blog increases awareness and understanding for improving accessibility for people with disabilities.
After working for ten years with three levels of government, transit authorities and non-profit organizations to increase the accessibility of their websites for people with disabilities, Glenda is now combining her web accessibility expertise with her passion for blogging and her first-hand experience living with a disability to work with bloggers to create an accessible blogosphere. Using text-to-speech software with PowerPoint to accommodate her significant speech impairment, Glenda delivers powerful presentations wherever she presents.
