Summary:
"Entering a building that has front steps, writing legibly, and doing several chores in one day are all things many able-bodied people do without a second thought. However, people with certain disabilities may find them difficult or impossible to do. Engaging fact boxes and informative charts give readers a basic introduction to the fight for disability rights, which has frequently been overlooked by mainstream society. Also included is a list of age-appropriate actions children can take to help advance the cause and either support their disabled loved ones or advocate for themselves as disabled individuals"-- Provided by publisher.
