Disability is Natural and Living Real Lives

8:30am – 3:30pm
Log Cabin Inn


Disability is Natural and Other Revolutionary Common Sense
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? Awesome change is possible when we think differently and talk differently!

Living Real Lives
Living in "Disability World" can cause helplessness, dependence, and segregation. But when children with disabilities have three important tools for success—including assistive technology and more natural forms of assistance—they can enjoy self-directed lives, be included in their communities, and live the lives of their dreams. Everyone has the right to live a real life included in the real world!
