Labeled Disabled Trailer

Labeled Disabled

During the last decade, classroom teacher, Maggie Doben, has worked with early childhood students, helping them to explore and understand physical disabilities. Each year as the lessons begin, they reveal the stereotypes and discriminatory behaviors that are imposed by society. Labled Disabled challenges those biases and demonstrates, through first-hand experience, that they are stereotypes, not reality.

Children's understandings of disabilities are transformed as they participate in carefully designed lessons and engage in opportunities to meet and learn from disabled role models in their community. They are able to express their feelings about disability as they collect new information and deepen their knowledge.

You can watch the trailer on Maggie Doben's website.
