“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!”
