  • Notes: Comments: "”What makes this video uniquely interesting is that children played a large part in its production. Elementary and middle school children were instructed on how to use a video camera along with basic interview techniques. They interviewed and recorded each other, their parents and other adults and kids with various types of disabilities. The original video footage was professionally edited but narrated by the kids that shot it. The effort resulted in a quality production that increases understanding and awareness about disabilities and will help to promote inclusion.” This promotional excerpt describes very well how, why and what this video achieves. Very engaging for people of all ages. The study guide is divided into age groups-ages 5-8, 9-12 and adults to teenagers. It also includes 3 activities designed to enhance students to when, where, and how a person with a disability needs assistance and promote a sense of respect between all people.
