The Disability Awareness Workshop is a one-day program to teach 4th graders an empathetic understanding of physical, developmental, and learning disabilities.
The hands-on-activity based program is designed to help student’s understand how difficult and complex daily living can be for individuals with “Diverse Abilities.” The workshop helps build a culture of understanding that is invaluable, with the goal to learn, through experience, that all individuals deserve respect no matter how they may look, act, walk or talk.
Please consider volunteering to help with the workshop. We need at least 18 volunteers to help in the morning (8:10 am – 12:00 pm).
Volunteers need only be kind and compassionate, no experience working with people with disabilities is necessary. Contact Mrs. Stidham (stidham@aaps.k12.mi.us) in you have any questions.
