On Equal Terms
"Disabled people are tired of being invisible and are declaring their right to an equal
chance at life." -Christopher Reeve
• Have you ever wondered what it's like to have a disability? How does a

participate in sports? If you couldn't hear, how would you talk with your
friends? Do people with disabilities get frustrated; have friends, like ice
cream? Can you catch a disability?
