[Wiskidsdv] [Resources] People with Disabilities

[Cody Warner]

Hello Everyone,
I received an email from someone that wanted me to share these resources for people with disabilities. They also shared one story of how their cousin, Sara, shared her perspective with them.
Hi,

My cousin Sara, who has down syndrome, catches me off-guard with her charmingly unique observations sometimes. My most recent favorite: “The sky look so soft today, I wish I could just lie in it all day!” She helps me look at the world differently and find beauty in new ways. I love spending the day with her and hearing her thoughtful insight into life and the universe.
 So often “disability” has a negative connotation, but it has been a wonderful gift for my family. Yet despite the fact that nearly 1 in 5<https://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/miscellaneous/cb12-134.html> Americans has a disability, Sara and her family have repeatedly told me what a challenge it is to find relevant information and support for their needs. I want to change that. I hope you’ll support my cause by sharing these helpful, modern disability resources.
