When you finish this guide, something will be different. Your young person will see the world with new eyes — noticing what's accessible, who's included, and who's been left out. And you'll have the language, the confidence, and the tools to keep that conversation going long after the last page.
Inside this guide you'll find:
Find Out What They Know — a baseline that shows you exactly where to start
Physical Disabilities 101 — the facts, rooted in the ADA definition, at a 6th grade reading level
Learning Resources — curated tools to go deeper together
Conversation Starters — organized around identity, history, and community access
Family Activities — from puzzles and crafts to real-world exploration
For Grown-Ups — before, during, and after support so you show up prepared, present, and reflective
Commit to Action — because conversation without action is just information
Your Lab Notebook — document what you discovered and build on it next year
This guide is anchored by the story of Judith Heumann, a disability rights activist whose life's work changed what access means in America. Her story is woven throughout every step.
Every page is rooted in the Table of Diversity™, a framework mapping 97+ identity elements across 18 categories. As you move through this guide, you'll see how identity, history, and belonging are always connected.
Where the practice of DEI meets its promise!
You already sense there’s more to the people in your group than what shows up in everyday conversations. You want your team or group to create spaces where people feel like they belong, not just show up.
The Table of Diversity® Reflect Card Deck invites people to share what they’ve actually lived, not a theory, not a statistic, but their own story.
Create space for center lived experience to lead the conversation.
How it works:
The Reflect Card Deck is built directly from the Table of Diversity®, one card for every Identity Element, from race and gender identity to religion, ability, age, and more.
Each card carries its own set of reflection prompts, organized into three categories:
Identity- what this element means to the person holding the card, in their own words.
Environment- how this element has shaped the way they experience the spaces and groups they’re part of.
Brilliance- what this element brings out in them, their strengths, their uniqueness, what they add to the room simply by being who they are.
There’s no dictionary definition on any card. What race, religion, ability, or age means isn’t fixed, it depends entirely on the person holding that card, their environment, their brilliance.
What Changes Over Time:
Groups that come back to the Reflect card deck again and again see something bigger start to happen.
The assumptions people walked in with start to soften. The colleague you thought you had figured out turns out to have a whole story you never knew. The teammate who never spoke up in meetings has something to say.
Trust builds because you've practiced asking the questions that matter and listened to their responses without judgement. People start showing up more fully, because they’ve seen that this group is a place where that’s safe.
And eventually, belonging stops being something you talk about and becomes something people just feel.
That’s what consistent use of the Reflect Card Deck builds, a group that keeps choosing to know each other.
