International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Equality vs Equity
Equality - everyone starts or is given the same
Equity - everyone is given what they need to succeed
Fairness is giving everyone what they need to succeed - it is not always the exact same!
“Sometimes we can see individuals’ differences and sometimes we can’t.”
Invisible Disabilities:
Physical (inside)
Emotional & Mental
Neurological conditions
Can limit or challenge a person’s movements, senses, or activities
Can impact that person’s ability to learn or work.

Diversity is Beautiful
We are all different and we should all recognize and appreciate our differences.
