Narrative

Aims to increase acceptance of those with disabilities through hands-on classroom activities with 3rd and 5th grade curriculum.

Students who participate:

• Gain knowledge of a range of disabilities

• Develop understanding and respect through hands-on, experiential learning

• Expand perceptions of how people are different – and the same

• Become more comfortable talking and reaching out to people with disabilities

• Are less likely to engage in or tolerate bullying

Intolerance, name-calling and bullying are persistent problems in schools, affecting all students — especially those with disabilities or individual differences. But when the UOD program encourages students’ questions about the differences they notice, and provides information and answers, school climate improves for everyone.
