“When Elsa finally unleashes and uses her powers to build an ice castle where she plans to live in isolation, she suddenly feels free and discovers much to her surprise that there are things she can control. She realizes that denying her power erases a central part of her,” reminds Susan Henderson Executive Director of the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) “Much like the film, both parents and children alike need to embrace the fact that a person’s disabilities are inseparable from who they are, and that’s OK, because like any trait, having a disability helps shape our world view; how we get around in the world; what we experience, learn and value.”
