K - 12 Ability Awareness Training (Cancelled)
Feb 10, 2010
This interactive workshop will provide information and activities to promote awareness and understanding that individuals with disabilities are more alike than different from individuals without disabilities.
Participants will explore ability awareness through a hands-on, interactive workshop including thought-provoking topics, creative simulation activities, and reflective practice.
Participants will:
• Gain a deeper understanding of the similarities ALL people share
• Learn how words can impact the individual described
• Challenge existing attitudes concerning disabilities
• Explore adaptations that individuals with and without disabilities use
• Gain new perspectives of specific disabilities with hands-on simulations
• Understand that a disability is only one aspect of an individual
All the ability awareness activities and materials from this training are supplied in Ability Support Kits (ASK) and are available for checkout in the SCCOE library. The kits can be used to promote ability awareness for student, parent, and staff trainings.
