What
children know about disabilities – and their tendency to befriend
or bully those who have them – isn’t measured on any
standardized test.
But we have seen the evidence after more than 25 years: disability
awareness is a vital part of their education.
The Institute’s school programs demystify a range of physical,
sensory and developmental disabilities. Students develop esteem
for others as they learn, gaining the assurance to reach out to
their peers.
