THE STORIES WE TELL.
Some stories protect us. Others kee us from recognizing that our circumstances have changed.
DIFFERENT WAYS OF MOVING THROUGH THE WORLD
Our differences are part of our humanity, not a measure of our worth.
REFLECTION
We all experience the world differently. Our bodies, abilities, circumstances, and ways of communicating shape how we participate in everyday life. What seems effortless to one person may require considerable planning or energy from another. Recognizing these differences invites us to reconsider the assumptions we make about independence, participation, and what it means to contribute. A welcoming community is one that makes room for people as they are.
