#TheSame

January 21, 2015

EQUIP Logo

Able South Carolina’s young adult leadership group, EQUIP, wants you to know that individuals with disabilities go to college, drive, get married, have jobs, create art, serve others, and do everything that people without disabilities can do.  “The Same” is a video where three EQUIP leaders share their personal experiences about having a disability and advice for how they wish to be treated.  Hint: It’s the same as everyone else! #TheSame

Spread the Word!

If you are an individual with a disability, we encourage you to share your own examples of how you are “The Same” on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram using the hashtag #thesame. Some examples are below:

Twitter Graphic that reads: I have a full time job and serve on a non-profit board. #TheSame

Facebook post that reads: I'm happily married! #TheSame

Let’s show the world that people with disabilities are no different than anyone else.  Join #thesame movement today!

EQUIP is funded by the SC Developmental Disabilities Council, and “The Same” was funded by the SC Independent Living Council.
