Youth in Transition Toolkit:
Does the youth understand their disability and the associated opportunities and challenges? Do they embrace disability as one aspect of the whole self? Do they have a personal view regarding disability pride?
Disability is a natural part of the human experience. It's important for youth with disabilities to understand their disability, including how the disability impacts them and how to live a full and happy life with the disability.
