"The Invisible Disability" by Gwendolyn Davis-Loyd is an impactful short story creatively mirroring Davis-Loyd's unique experience with her daughter's learning disability. "The Invisible Disability" was birthed from Gwendolyn's desire to empower children to walk in strength, despite their disability, drawing attention to the fact that being different does not equate to an inability to grow and succeed in and out of the classroom. Davis-Loyd has acquired a heightened sense of understanding from her daughter, Jewell, and as they have journeyed through Jewell's disability to ultimately reach a place of awareness, confidence, and undeniable success.
