What is Hydrocephalus and Hydrocephalus Awareness Month

September is Hydrocephalus Awareness Month, and this week on Mondays With Margie, we’re starting with the basics. I’ll explain what hydrocephalus is, how it can affect people of all ages, and why every person’s experience is different. I’ll also share a little of my own connection to hydrocephalus—and preview next week’s personal story! And just remember, you are More Than Able.

Why Inclusion Matters

Bullying can leave a lasting impact. We can all help build a kinder, more inclusive community by listening, speaking up, and making sure people know they belong. In this week’s Mondays With Margie, I’m talking about bullying and why it’s important to treat one another with kindness and respect. You are More Than Able!

Self Advocacy for Students

This week, we’re talking about Self-Advocacy at School: Your Voice Matters. Self-advocacy is about understanding yourself, knowing what helps you succeed, and having the confidence to use your voice. Your voice matters, and it deserves to be heard. And remember—you are More Than Able.

Autism Acceptance

Autism acceptance is defined by how we show up. It’s listening instead of assuming. It’s respecting boundaries and sensory needs. It’s choosing understanding over judgment. Awareness is important, but acceptance is what truly creates change. At More Than Able, this is what we’re all about

Walk to End Hydrocephalus Recap

Thank you to Team More Than Able, everyone who donated, and everyone who came out to support us. Seeing this community come together means so much to me! This week’s challenge: Think of one person or group who has supported you and let them know how much it means to you. Make a phone call or visit them in person. Time is one of the most precious gifts we can share. This weekend, spend time with people you love and show them you value their time by sharing yours. You are More Than Able!

Supporting the Autistic Community

This Autism Acceptance Month, I’ve been thinking a lot about what acceptance actually looks like. It’s not just including people, it’s valuing them. It’s not just understanding differences, it’s embracing them. And sometimes, it’s as simple as slowing down, listening, and meeting someone where they are. That’s the kind of world we’re building at More Than Able.

Being An Inclusive Friend

In this week’s Mondays With Margie, I’m sharing simple ways to help others feel welcome. Say hello and learn a classmate’s name. Invite someone to sit with you. Include someone in a conversation or activity. Get to know people with disabilities without making assumptions. People with disabilities want genuine friendships, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to belong just like everyone else! Whether you’re a student, parent, educator, or community member, your small acts of kindness can make a lasting difference. And just remember, you are More Than Able!

Belonging Changes Everything

Being invited is a start. Belonging means knowing your voice matters and feeling comfortable being yourself. And just remember, you are More Than Able!

Embracing Change

Change is uncomfortable. It’s also where leadership begins. The leaders who shape the future aren’t the ones who avoid change. They’re the ones who lean into it. YOU are MORE than ABLE!

The More Than Able Studio features shows hosted by Margie Ainsworth, who was born with hydrocephalus and has spent her life proving that disability doesn't define what's possible. The More Than Able Studio currently produces two shows. The main show is called the MORE THAN ABLE PODCAST, hosted by Margie Ainsworth, and that includes in-depth interviews with the professionals, disabled persons, caregivers, advocates, and organizations who are working and living within the disability community. The More Than Able Studio also produces MONDAYS WITH MARGIE, hosted by Margie Ainsworth, and it is a weekly series of short episodes delivering real talk on disability awareness, resources for the disability community, and inspirational stories. For people with disabilities, every show is a reminder: someone out there gets it, and they're doing something about it. For caregivers, parents, and allies: The More Than Able Studio provides an honest look at what support actually looks like, straight from the people who live it every day.
