Disability Awareness Literacy Program

Disability Network Mid-Michigan is collaborating with local groups to promote awareness and education to break stigmas about people with disabilities.

“Our goal is to start conversations about disabilities with children at a young age. We hope to get students thinking about disability as being a natural part of the human condition, to teach acceptance and inclusion, and to increase thinking about diversity.”

- Kelly PeLong, DNMM Executive Director
