Out of My Mind follows Melody Brooks, a witty 10-year-old with cerebral palsy. While assistive tech helps her communicate, many struggle to see past her disability. The film explores her relationships as she finds her voice. Have you seen it? Let us know in the comments!

In this quote, Judith Heumann’s words challenge us to rethink what "equality" really means. True inclusion isn’t just about treating everyone the same, but also about ensuring everyone has fair access to all the opportunities, spaces, and resources they need to thrive.

Let’s practice question words in ASL! Question words are a key point in communication. Who, what, when, where, why, and how, are important conversational words. Practice these signs to learn some simple sign language and foster understanding for everyone.
