Disability Awareness
Sticks and stones can break my bones and words CAN really hurt me! Using the word "retard" is not cool, funny, or hip- it's just thoughtless. No matter how the word is used, it is hurtful to people with disabilities. Think about your words. Don't use words that hurt.
Help spread the word with a package (or more) of free postcards from PIC. Contact PIC at 307-684-2277 today for your package(s) of 50 postcards.
