In 2013, the US Department of Education urged American schools to include students with disabilities in extracurricular sports and activities. That was eight years ago.  Today, too little has changed. The five million students with disabilities who attend public schools remain mostly sidelined. ​

 

This generation of students understands the value of diversity and inclusion. Learn more about Generation Spirit and join tens of thousands of students who have stepped up to lead the inclusion revolution.
