October is Disability History and Awareness Month

Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Patricia I. Wright published a memo earlier this school year regarding disability awareness in Virginia. Two resources may be of interest to parents: Virginia Self Advocacy and I’m Determined.

In addition, we’d like to further equip parents with additional resources during October, for Disability History and Awareness Month.

• Primer on People First Language
• Disability is Natural
• National Youth Leadership Network
• Disability Etiquette
• The Art of Respectful Language
• Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center
• Virginia College Quest
• Museum of Disability
