The world would be a boring place if we were all the same.

Imagine if we all

• Looked the same
• Spoke the same
• Felt the same
• Thought the same

Our differences are what make us interesting and give us our own thoughts and feelings about things.

Understanding what it’s like to live with a disability or special educational need can help others to see the fantastic person you are. Here are some great videos you can show people to help them understand what it’s like to be you!
