As the chill of autumn descends and the holiday season approaches, a spirit of generosity sweeps across the globe. On Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, millions unite to make a positive impact on the lives of others. This year, let's channel this collective spirit of compassion and join forces with the I Am Able Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals with invisible differences to reach their full potential.
The I Am Able Foundation is a beacon of hope, transforming the lives of individuals with invisible differences through storytelling, empowerment groups, and the We All Learn Differently initiative. Our unwavering commitment to empowering individuals with invisible differences aligns perfectly with the essence of Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to celebrating the generosity that fuels positive change.

The goal is to promote community inclusion and empower students with disabilities and learning differences.

The Playbook is equipped with games, questions, and projects that will ignite meaningful conversations and nurture the beautiful diversity within our classrooms and homes.
