Experiences of Differences

The following videos contain information about the lives of people living with disabilities. Watching all of them will take about an hour and a half. If you are not familiar with the experiences of people living with disabilities, this is a good lived-experience opportunity.

The first link is a Vimeo link, so it is a bit more difficult to display in a manner that is easy to see, so I am linking it for you a bit out of order.  It is the Dementia Mentor site. The videos (there are a number of pages of them - pick a couple that interest you) are short and share the thoughts of people living with dementia.
