Defiant lives showing
I cannot tell you enough how much everyone LOVED your film. Many have asked about purchasing the documentary.

I think it’s very important. Disability should be included because it should be considered in diversity and inclusion conversations because it is part of the… human condition. Disability right activists have shown the power of a people to fight for change and challenge public perceptions, all while adapting to personal circumstances. Read more “I think it’s very important.

Loved hearing about the different types of rhetoric used in literature and life. Helps us to identify appropriate depictions rather than harmful ones. Great session!
Thank you so much for making the trip to Spring Grove!…
I wanted to email you specifically to let you know how many people really appreciated your performance! I had several students tell me how incredible… and moving you were and how much they enjoyed your music. They also did not necessarily think of people with disabilities when we first talked about diversity, and it really opened their eyes to that. Thank you so much for making the trip to Spring Grove! We really enjoyed having you! Read more “Thank you so much for making the trip to Spring Grove!…”
“How to Talk to Kids about Disability” Workshop
We collaborated with Disability Equality in Education to put on a workshop called “How to Talk to Kids About Disability”. We received feedback from parents… and caregivers that the presentations were informative, empowering and effective. The children participated in so many fun activities led by DEE including books normalizing disability, lesson plans, coloring pages, free play with toys featuring disabilities, exploration of adaptive equipment, and an accessibility audit of the building for the older kids. The families reported that their children had so much fun and constructive positive discussions were sparked about disabilities at home. We couldn’t have hoped for a better workshop and there has been interest for another one! Many thanks to Disability Equality in Education for the very important (and very FUN) work that you do!

Regarding Disability Pride MU Workshops: The discussion in groups were great. I got to learn more about others and the Disability Rights Movement.
