Disability Awareness and Etiquette for Schools and School Districts
Disability Awareness and Etiquette is useful when a school or school district wants staff or students to become more comfortable interacting with students, parents, co-workers and members of the public with disabilities. Her disability Awareness and Etiquette training was developed from a Boston Globe Foundation grant well over a decade ago. She has documented its development and results in her book Getting It: Persuading Organizations and Individuals to Become More Comfortable with People with Disabilities. It has been presented to hundreds of audiences, including small , medium and large businesses; state agencies; municipalities; federal government agencies; colleges and universities; non-profit organizations; and public schools. The training, which can vary in length according to your needs, budget and time constraints takes a light- hearted approach to the serious subject of becoming more comfortable with people with disabilities. I use props including masks and dolls to create a safe environment for participants to ask any questions that they have ever had regarding disability. Etiquette scenarios will be customized for your school or district. The result is an impactful event that changes how participants interact with students, staff, parents and members of the public with disabilities.
