Students with disabilities are bullied and socially excluded more than their peers. But a group of Massachusetts high school students is trying to change that. “I learned that disabilities are more common than you think,” said Isabelle Ogutt, who is part of the Hampden County District Attorney Youth Advisory Board. The group of 13 students created videos and a children’s book after talking to people with disabilities about how they want to be treated and how they navigate the world.
