When children have spent time learning about an issue, it is important for them to have a chance to express their opinions and work on ways for fighting for what they believe in. This final lesson in the series offers students and teachers choices for continuing to explore issues of accessibility and equity for people with physical disabilities in their own schools and communities. Drawing on what they have learned about challenging stereotypes and the interaction between art and activism, students will brainstorm, plan and take steps toward carrying out plans they can make in their daily lives to work toward social justice for people with physical disabilities.
