About

Meg Weber

I am a person with dwarfism.

I was born with achondroplasia, and I grew up in a home with non-disabled, average-size parents and siblings. That has shaped everything I teach about disability, family, and belonging.

I taught elementary school in Waldorf schools for more than 25 years. Today I educate schools, organizations, and teams on disability awareness — terminology, accessibility, and what it actually means to advocate for people with disabilities.

How Meg can help

Ways to work together

I specialize in breaking down barriers regarding disability and teaching individuals how to advocate for people with disabilities.

Workshops

Disability awareness training for staff, teams, and students — starting with a two-hour workshop and a facilitated discussion in a safe space for learning.

Curriculum development

Faculty leave with actionable curriculum ideas to teach disability awareness directly in the classroom — not theory, but something to use on Monday.

Consulting

Organizations leave with a stronger commitment to disability awareness at work, and the understanding to keep an environment inclusive and accessible for everyone.

Whether in a classroom or a conference room, every session is built around your people.
