"Changing Perspectives" - A Parent Informational Night on Disability Awareness
We live in an ever-changing world. The development of assistive technologies has moved our society toward one that is more inclusive and adaptable to those with disabilities. Schools have taken on the model of inclusion; including all students (regardless of disabilities) to be apart of the mainstream classroom, and ADA requirements have made it so all people are able to participate in mainstream society. With these rapid changes and the continued globalization of the world it is vital that students, at the elementary level, are given chances to engage in programs such as Changing Perspectives. It is important that people of all ages are able to understand and effectively communicate with those around them. The ultimate goal is to help everyone recognize their own challenges and to help promote understanding, respect, and acceptance of all people.
