Product Description:

Everyone knows that friendship is an important part of life--especially for teenagers. Going to classes, hanging out after school, and dreaming of the future are just some of the things that teenagers share with their friends. Yet for many teenagers with disabilities, developing meaningful relationships with peers continues to be a struggle. Voices of Friendship addresses this issue from a unique perspective. Viewers are introduced to Jocelyn Curtin, a high school student with disabilities, and her friends, who demonstrate--in words and experiences--how to support one another to achieve real and reciprocal friendships. As the young women share their wisdom, they provide clear and compelling evidence that friendships can-and must-happen for everyone.
