This document outlines a project that aims to help people with early-onset disabilities develop tools for maintaining a positive outlook. It does this by encouraging people to share their stories of navigating disability, independence, and self-worth. The project discusses themes like how parenting and coping mechanisms influence self-esteem, the role of support systems, and celebrating successes. It also addresses external factors like race, class, gender, and their intersection with disability experiences. The goal is to provide resources for building self-esteem and managing challenges in a society focused on ability and appearance.
