This is an upsetting letter about a man's struggle to reach his goals and hopes for his life.

new study on helping kids with disabilities feel included

This is a cool article. The University of Alberta's Dr. Spencer-Cavaliere interviewed kids with different disabilities and found three main themes to what made them feel included: being able to participate, having an important role, and having friends. I think these are probably true for all kids. They might just be more difficult for some kids with disabilities.

I think it's great that the people doing the study talked TO the kids, instead of just about them, and recommends talking to each kid to get their perspective. I think this is really important: just because people have disabilities doesn't mean they don't have important things to share!

i love this video

This has been one of my favorite youtube videos for years: the world's first wheelchair backflip.

this is a sad story

This is awful: a person with a physical disability was left out in the cold because their taxi was 2 hours late.
