We must take the time to educate our kids about individuals with disabilities. Oftentimes people think that avoiding the conversation or the person is best in order not to offend. In this episode, Denay shares that ignoring a person is the absolute worst thing that you can do.  We must educate ourselves, speak with our children, and ask questions so that we can create an inclusive world.  Denay is offering some advice and resources to help you have this discussion at home.

If you can't do something one way, it's an opportunity to create something new.  A blind teacher could not read with his eyes, so he created a system for reading with his fingers.  -Haben Girma (Lawyer and disability rights advocate)
