World Cerebral Palsy Day 2024!

Happy World Cerebral Palsy Day 2024 from Crip Video Productions! 🎉🌍 Today, we celebrate the vibrant achievements of individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP) around the globe! CP is considered a form of neurodiversity, highlighting the unique ways in which individuals experience and interact with the world. At Crip Video Productions, we are dedicated to depicting characters with CP living full and vibrant lives, ensuring that people with Cerebral Palsy are actively involved in all our film productions. We apologize for not always posting on World CP Day, but thanks to a fan’s reminder a few years ago, we’re making it a priority to share annually! 💚 Special thanks to all our supporters for helping spread awareness! For more information about Cerebral Palsy, check out our "About Page" here: Crip Video Productions About Page. Be sure to check out our films: 🎬 Drama Sighted 🎬 Only Those Who Limp Allowed 🎬 Crips Not Creeps 🎬 A Stroke Of Endurance These films focus on the fictionalized personal experiences of individuals with Cerebral Palsy, shedding light on their unique stories and challenges. Plus, don’t miss our public speaking videos like Insights For Educators and Cerebral Palsy Awareness to further your understanding and advocacy! Please share our films with those you love who have Cerebral Palsy or want to learn more about it! This month, we have several public speaking engagements for disability awareness focused on educating the community about the needs of individuals with CP. We'll keep you updated on these events! On September 24 2024 I(Margot) had the opportunity to speak with future educators, who were already starting to teach in classrooms. We discussed music and dance accessibility in classrooms, implementing IEPs, integrating special education disabled students in general education classrooms and accommodating anxiety disorder and Cerebral Palsy and Autism in classrooms. We discussed the challenges teachers face in providing the right support, and the importance of proper diagnoses for students.We discussed how teachers are often not given the right information to assist disabled students and how students may not be properly diagnosed. This led to some students and the instructor saying they were seeking a proper diagnosis for themselves. Let’s continue to advocate for a world where everyone is celebrated and valued as a human being!
