  Toys: Including those with disabilities

  Posted by Danielle "Dani" Liptak on February 12, 2019 at 12:18 pm

  I believe that I was so scared of getting a wheelchair because I didn’t see anyone else like me with one. No one on the TV shows I watches, the red carpet, the news, models in the magazines, in the stores, or the toys I played with, were all for typical people with typical bodies. I did not have someone to look up to that was in a wheelchair and even if they were out there I wasn’t taught about them in school, home, or by society.

  The New Barbies Include People With Disabilities & This Is Groundbreaking

  As parents, do you think this promotes acceptance? Are you worried it will exclude your child more? What is your opinion on the matter?
