Chapter 4: The Literacy-Cast ProclamationLoading...
Loading...
We believe that children deserve books that: - (a) Include accurate and authentic representations of disability;
- (b) Include at least two characters with disabilities;
- (c) Are authored and illustrated by people with lived disability experiences;
- (d) Are historically accurate;
- (e) Are written using inclusive and current language that dismantles ableism;
- (f) Avoid and dismantle stereotypes including the need to cure or overcome disabilities;
- (g) Acknowledge and respect the power of individuals with disabilities.
Specifically, we believe that children need books that allow everyone to speak their own truths, create their own stories, and challenge limits set by society.
We must not let anyone’s mind limit what able hearts can do.

Justification:We believe that the Literacy-Cast Proclamation is relevant because there are many people with disabilities who are looked at by the public at large for what they can't do. We feel that by choosing books that meet the requirements of our proclamation, we can educate others about disabilities and in doing so, can demonstrate what people with disabilities can do.
