Putting the cliche “better late than never” to the test, here comes your recap for this past Wednesday’s #CPChatNow. Remember the live cerebral palsy Twitter chat #CPChatNow happens every Wednesday at 8pm ET.

The evening started slow, something expected given tweets from earlier in the day.

My co-host Blake did make the chat at a reasonable hour.

Eventually activity began to pick up.

Before getting to the Google Hangout announcement, Blake and I revealed our next focus chat.

I went on to explain the reasoning behind “internal” experts and the tentative plan for focus chats moving forward.

The expert discussion led  to a quality conversation about advocacy.

Read Emily’s thought provoking piece “The Problem with the Need to Justify That Disabled People are Both Capable and Human.”

Moving back to #CPChatNow, Blake made our second announcement.

Message me on Twitter to get added  to the invite list.

Blake additionally shared exciting news for himself personally.

Another interesting conversation emerged involving what you learned during the week.

Your turn to participate! Extend the conversation by answering “What have you learned this week?”

I hope if you can, you stop by this Wednesday when Erin leads us in a focus chat about exercising.
