Sometimes, dealing with a disability can involve social, emotional, sexual, and economic concerns…
Even if you do not have a disability, chances are that you may know someone who does.
Sometime you may not even realize that a person has a disabilityremember that disabilities are not always visible.
With a little effort you can get to know someone who has a disability. If you feel a little uncomfortable in their company at first, that's okay. Just remember that they have the same wants and needs as you. We are all different but equal!
Call 2-1-1 for the Special Needs HelpLine (0-22 years of age) Or contact the agencies listed that offer services for young people and or family members who have disabilities:
