K-6
The most important outcome we want students to gain is that there is no reason to feel pity for someone with a disability or think that because a person has a disability they are inferior to those that don’t. The Ability Awareness Program is designed to give students the opportunity to meet presenters with a disability who are thriving in life and learn Disability Awareness concepts from the presenters first-hand experiences with these concepts.
Concepts:
- Appropriate Language
- Attitude & Approach
- Assumptions & Stereotypes
- Accessibility & Accommodations
Activities
- Presenters
- Read-A-Loud
- Performances
- Art Exhibition
- Assistive Technology Demos
- Adaptive Sports Demos
