Thriving While Disabled: Navigating Disability Finances
For people with disabilities, the system is BROKEN – but we deserve to THRIVE anyway. This book shows you how to protect yourself financially despite the challenges.

Thriving While Disabled: Navigating Disability Finances reveals the structures that support people with disabilities and why many of them are emotionally painful. It includes guidance to help anyone with a disability navigate the ableism that impacts every aspect of our lives.

This book is deeply rooted in and shares Alison's lived experience of her own disabilities and the roadblocks that biased organizations and society have erected.

Alison's mantra is: "The system is broken, but we deserve to thrive anyway."

This book teaches you:
• How poverty guidelines impact your ability to get many supports
• What social welfare programs are available to you, how to apply for them, and why the process hurts so much!
• To understand the tricky relationship between disability and employment, and how to protect your rights when working
• To understand the increased costs that accompany being or becoming disabled, and learn about the only program in the US that acknowledges that reality
• How to anticipate and minimize medical debt while protecting your credit history.


All people with disabilities deserve to be treated with respect. Alison's intention with this book is to help you navigate the roadblocks that society places in our way.

Alison Hayes is the founder and driving force behind her coaching business, Thriving While Disabled. This book has evolved from her blog. Her business has expanded to encompass coaching, training, and educational materials that help people with disabilities navigate the many broken systems which make their lives difficult.
The goal of her business is to empower her fellow disabled folks to know and protect their rights, recognize their worthiness as human beings, and find their own path to purpose.
Her wish is that you can thrive while managing society’s perception and treatment of you as a person with a disability!
Alison and her partner Al live in New Jersey with their cats (one of whom is also chronically ill) and enjoy watching horror movies together. She’s also a big reader of science fiction and fantasy books.
