DISMANTLING DISABILITY BIAS THROUGH EDUCATION, STORY, AND SPORT.

1 in 4 adults in the United States has a disability, but no one knows how to talk about it. We’re here to kickstart the conversation.

School Programs

A full-day Bionic program allows students to learn about physical disability, ask questions, play, and build authentic connections.

Elementary

Our work with grades K - 4 centers on the theme "we are more similar than we are different." Our full-day program begins with a large assembly or smaller classroom presentations on topics such as making friends, inclusive behavior and language, accessible playground and classroom design, and the basics of assistive technology. The day continues with adaptive sports clinics, led by elite athletes with disabilities, focusing on age-appropriate skills.
Middle School

Our work with grades 5 - 8 centers on the theme "we are all connected; community is essential." Our full-day program begins with a large assembly or smaller classroom presentations on topics such as inclusive behavior and language, accessible school and stadium design, media narratives around disability, and assistive technology. The day continues with sports clinics, led by elite athletes with disabilities, focusing on age-appropriate skills.
High School

Our work with grades 9 - 12 centers on the theme "we all need help; we can all help others." Our full-day program begins with a large assembly or smaller classroom presentations on topics such as the history of the Disability Rights Movement in America, media narratives around disability, inclusive behavior and language, accessible stadium design, assistive technology, and ways to take social action. The day continues with sports clinics, led by elite athletes with disabilities, focusing on age-appropriate skills.
