i m p o r t a n t .



When we talk too much aboutsomeone’s disabi l i ty and don’t spendenough time talking to the person, we

might hurt their fee l ings.

Dave, what do kids

in wheelchairs do

for fun?



The truth is, people with disabilities enjoydoing the same things that people without

disabilities like to do.



Help Dave find his

friends at the

park.

People with disabilities are everywhere. Weshould all learn to be respectful to all members

of our communities.



People with disabilities are Moms.



They are Dads.



They are brothers and sisters.



They are friends.



Harriet Tubman

African American Abolitionist

They are civil rights leaders.



Vincent Van Gogh

Painter

They are famous artists.



They are Presidents.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

US President

1933-1945



Many words that are used to talk about peoplewith disabilities are not very nice or cause people to be afraid of people with disabilities. We call

these words labels.

Write as many bad labels as you can think

of in the jar and draw a lid on it so that you

remember not to use them.

When we use these labels, we might give other people wrong and confusing ideas about peoplewith disabilities. These wrong ideas are called

stereotypes.

I guess kids like that are

in Special Ed because

they will hurt us.

How come Jen isn't

helping us carve

pumpkins?

She's in the sped class. They

don't let kids like her do this

kind of stuff because they

cause too many problems.



We may hear our friends use these labels in jokes or as a way to say something is “bad” or

“stupid.” We may also hear them on Tv or in themovies.

Matt, get out of there,

you look like a totalRetard!



We may think that it is OK to use these labelsbecause they aren’t being used to talk about a

person with a disability. But, it isn’t OKbecause it hurts people’s feelings.

Matt, get out of there,

you look like a total

Retard!



Draw how you would feel if someone told you that you were bad or stupid.



We should also never tell jokes about people withdisabilities. If someone wants to tell you a joke that is mean, it is OK to tell them you don’t

want to hear it.

Hey, what do you call

a kid in a wheelchair

with a rope around

him?

I don't want to know

because it isn't niceto make fun of

people.

You're right. I'msorry. I didn't

think about that.



When we talk to or about people with disabilities,we should always use People First Language.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

32nd President of the United StatesHelped the U.S. recover from theGreat Depression

President Roosevelt

had a disability.

Matching Game

Match the labels on the left to the

correct People First phrase on the

right.



We shouldn’t treat our friends with disabilitiesany differently than we treat our friends

without disabilities. If we do, we may hurt their feelings or make them angry.

Dude, I'm full. You guysthink he wants this ice

cream cone? Hey! I can answer formyself! I'm not a baby!



It is always nice to help others, but we shouldn’tassume that people with disabilities can’t help

themselves. If we think that someone could useour help, it is polite to ask first, just to be sure.

Excuse me Sir, would

you like me to helpyou with your keys?

Yes, thank you. That would

be very helpful.



Which One?

Just hold your handsup and I will throw it

right into them. Youdon't even need to try.

My Dad is taking mefishing this weekend

and he said I canbring 2 friends. You

guys wanna come?

You are good at

playing basketball -you should go out forthe team next season.

Jack, when you aredone pushing him

around, do you wantto go play arcade

games?

Circle and color the picture that is

the best example of how we should

treat our friends.



Some people with disabilities have animals whohelp them. These animals are called support

animals.



We should never pet a support animal withoutasking the person first. We might distract theanimal from doing its job. It’s always a good

idea to ask before petting any animal.

Hi, is it ok if I pet

your dog?

Sure, he isn't working

right now. His name is

Murray.



Circle all of the things you think could be a problem for the woman if her support dog gotdistracted by someone paying attention to it

without her knowing about it.
