This resource is ideal for self-advocates and families seeking to deepen their understanding of disability identity and communication. The speakers discuss how language shapes perception, the importance of self-definition, and how embracing body neutrality can support mental and emotional well-being.

This video resource hub features curated playlists including “Know Your Rights,” “Supported Decision-Making Agreements,” and “Alaska’s Shared Vision,” among others. Each video is designed to inform and inspire self-advocates, educators, and families by addressing legal rights, community inclusion, and pathways to independence.
