What does the Bible say about faith and disability? Why is it rarely discussed? A New Community Interactive Devotional is a tool that raises awareness and introduces readers to a higher level of understanding of faith, disability, and purpose. It allows them to interact with several Scriptures, narratives, prayers, and testimonies. Regardless of ability, this devotional challenges its readers to see opportunities rather than barriers. It can be used as an easy resource for personal study or group discussion.
Dr. Edwards has a unique and relatable way of connecting authentically through shared experiences and compassion. She is a mom who not only speaks about life with a disability but lives out disability daily.

REMINDER FOR ANYONE INTERESTED: ($5 fee charged to submit) Times Square Video Presentation
Every year, NDSS reminds the world in a BIG way about the value that people with Down syndrome bring to their communities through a special video presentation on a jumbo screen, generously donated by Clear Channel, in the heart of Times Square.
500 individuals are chosen to appear in the Times Square Video, and NDSS tries to choose as many new faces as possible each year to highlight the diversity and beauty of our community. The hour-long presentation kicks off the NYC Buddy Walk® and is streamed live on Facebook. Submissions for the 2024 Times Square Video Presentation are now open! Submissions will close on June 4, and all those who submit a photo will be notified of our decision on July 8.

ABOUT DISABILITY IS BEAUTIFUL
We believe we can change the face of stock photography.
1 in 5 people in the world live with a disability, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find lots of images to represent this. However, that's not always the case.

Because beauty belongs to everyone, Disability Is Beautiful provides an exhaustive library of art provided by the disability community. Your usage of this art celebrates the beauty in disability and fights the stigma and negative narratives that exist.
