Wow this is heartfelt ❤️

#repost from @kharareign It takes so much strength to navigate a world that is not designed to automatically include you or be open to you. Inclusion matters and Khara is often a trailblazer and the first person who is blind to try something she has never done before, like musical theatre or track. Khara is the only student at her school who is completely blind and she has worked so hard to learn how to independently get around her school and be a part of everything that she wants to do in middle school. Inclusion and awareness are so important and start with understanding and someone being willing to learn how to support a someone with a disability. We are truly grateful for the people who have been open to learning how to teach and support Khara. Everyone needs to feel accepted, and to be shown love and kindness.

In light of events regarding the exclusion of a child with Autism from attending a school trip and a child with Down Syndrome being expelled from dance class because she couldn’t keep up with it, I feel the need to share this. There are kids who no one invites to birthday parties. There are special children who want to be part of a team but are not selected because it’s more important to win than to include these children. Kids with different abilities aren’t weird, they just want what everyone wants: to be accepted and included! Khara shows every day that she is capable and able to succeed like any other student. The more she is able to advocate for what she needs to be a part of this world, the more she hopes the world will become more inclusive and accessible. It makes such a difference in the lives of kids with disabilities.

Everyone experiences #DisabilityPride differently, and that’s exactly what makes our community so powerful. 💙

For #DisabilityPrideMonth, we wanted perspective from the @BlindNewWorld and beyond – and our friends @KTNLife, @TheBlindWoodsman, @KharaReign, and @BlindLove.Woodburning to put that pride into words in responses that are honest, personal and uniquely their own. ➡️

How about you? Let us know in the comments what #DisabilityPride means to you.

Aren’t we proud of Khara and her school’s willingness to be inclusive? 🤍

This is what inclusion looks like.

Not just allowing a child with a disability to be present, but creating an environment where they are accepted, supported, encouraged, and given every opportunity to thrive alongside their peers.

Too often, children with disabilities are underestimated. Yet when schools choose inclusion over exclusion, support over barriers, and acceptance over judgment, incredible things happen.

The truth is, many children with disabilities are not limited by their diagnosis alone, they are limited by the opportunities they are given.

🤍 Join us in celebrating schools that choose inclusion.

Khara , who is blind, couldn’t see the stage, but she didn’t miss the show either.

With audio description, she experienced every movement, costume, and moment of MJ The Musical. Accessibility made the difference between just hearing it and truly being part of it.

Sometimes the smallest accommodations create the biggest inclusion.

What would disability look like if inclusion was automatic?

It takes real strength to grow in a world that isn’t designed to include you by default. Inclusion matters. Khara is often the first and only blind student to try new things at her school, from musical theatre to track. She is the only student who is completely blind, yet she has worked tirelessly to move independently around her school and take part in everything middle school has to offer.

Inclusion starts with awareness, understanding, and a willingness to learn how to support someone with a disability. We are deeply grateful for the people who have chosen to learn, adapt, and show Khara love and kindness. Every child deserves to feel accepted and supported.

Recent stories of children with Autism being excluded from school trips and children with Down Syndrome being removed from dance classes are painful reminders of how far we still have to go. There are children who aren’t invited to birthday parties, who want to be part of a team but are left out because winning is valued more than belonging.

Children with disabilities aren’t “different” in what they want. They want the same things as everyone else: acceptance, inclusion, and the chance to participate. Khara proves every day that she is capable, determined, and able to succeed. As she continues to advocate for what she needs, she hopes the world will become more inclusive and accessible for all kids with disabilities. Inclusion truly changes lives.
