Know It 2 Own It: Teaching and Learning about Disability Rights

"Know It 2 Own It" is a campaign to encourage Americans to learn more about the disability rights movement and the Americans with Disabilities Act. As the school year progresses, educators can teach students about disability rights and famous Americans with disabilities who have contributed to society. In a new video from ED, Rebecca Cokley, Executive Director for the National Council on Disability, describes how she became involved in the disability rights movement as a child, what she thinks are the most important messages for young people with disabilities, & why she is committed to mentoring others.  http://www.ed.gov/blog/2014/07/know-it-2-own-it-celebrating-the-americans-with-disabilities-act/
