A "must see" video

Being an Unperson
A VERY Powerful Video by a Self-Advocate

A "must-see" video for anyone who teaches, supports or works with children or adults with disabilities.Thought provoking and insightful, this video provides a perspective from people with a disabilities, especially those that are labeled "non-verbal". It raises awareness of how people with disabilities are treated and will make others think twice about the impact of their words and actions. It is a good reminder to treat all people with respect and to always presume competence.
