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.
The Youth Celebrate Diversity website includes a section on disability justice and youth, featuring videos, books, movies, podcasts and more to help youth explore disability justice.
Teaching about disability from Educators 4SC provides lesson plans and other resources focused on disability awareness.
