Imagine if you started at a new school that was not as welcoming or inclusive for you in comparison to other students?
Students can be empowered to advocate for change by writing a letter to the superintendent urging improvements in school disability accessibility. In the letter, they should outline specific challenges faced by students with disabilities, such as inaccessible entrances, lack of ramps or elevators, and inadequate classroom accommodations. Emphasize the importance of creating a more inclusive environment where all students can thrive. Encourage students to express their personal experiences or observations and suggest practical solutions to address these issues. By articulating their concerns and proposed solutions in a respectful and persuasive manner, students can effectively advocate for positive change. This should be completed on a lined sheet of paper!
