“Disability is Natural”
Motivating, Inspiring, Life-Changing
“Yes, like gender, ethnicity, and other traits, disability is one of many natural characteristics of being human! What can happen when we deconstruct disability, use People First Language, and focus on people’s strengths and abilities? Our attitudes drive our actions, and awesome change is possible when we think and talk differently!”
