[THEME SONG BEGINS]
>>RACHEL: Good morning Chompions! It’s time for Chompers, your morning and night tooth brushing show.
Start brushing on the top of your mouth. Pick a side, and brush the inside, outside, and chewing side of each tooth.
>> KIDS: 3-2-1 Brush!

>>RACHEL: It’s Everybody Week, and today we’ve got some True or False for you!
I’ll give you a fact about disability, and if you think it’s true…
[DING]
>>RACHEL: give a thumbs up! False…
[BUZZER]
>>RACHEL: -thumbs down. .
Ready for your first one?
No two people are the same.
[MUSIC BEGINS]
>>RACHEL: So, is this true or false? Are no two people are the same?
The answer is, True!
[DING]
Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>>RACHEL: -and brush your front teeth too.
Everyone is different, but sometimes those differences are easier to see than others. People might notice right away if I walk with crutches, but everyone has SOMETHING that makes them different. Having a disability is just ONE part of what makes someone who they are. Everyone is lots of other things too! I might also be funny, or smart, or blonde, or thoughtful, or brave, or short, or silly, or…
[SWITCH BELL]
>>RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the bottom of your mouth, but don’t brush too hard.
[MUSIC ENDS]
>>RACHEL: Ready for your next true or false? Okay. Here it is.
Over 1 BILLION people have some type of disability.
[MUSIC BEGINS]
>>RACHEL: So, is this true, or false? Shout it out!
True!
[DING]
>>RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>>RACHEL: -and don’t forget the molars in the way back.
Over 1 billion people have some kind of disability. That makes having a disability more common than having blue eyes!
There’s a good chance you or someone you know might have a disability, or that you’ll meet someone who does. It is a very common thing! It’s also common for people to have more than one type of disability.
