Understanding Disabilities Fair
Objective:
To build
disability awareness into school curricula through active learning experiences
that facilitate including all children.
To increase
knowledge about disabilities and foster positive attitudes about persons living
with disabilities.
To promote
acceptance of people with disabilities in all aspects of schools and
community.
To facilitate
community and school partnership.
Guided
discussion will be used whenever possible. It’s a method used to change myths to
facts, fears to confidence and negative feelings to positive attitudes.
Discussion helps students gather needed information, express feelings, and work
through any discomfort.
Activity Time
The
Understanding Disabilities Fair will be for 3rd grade students. There will be
three time slots of one hour and forty minutes a piece. Three classrooms at a
time will attend the fair. The fair will consist of simulation activities and
information about disabilities for students. The fair will begin with a five
minute discussion of the disabilities we will be learning about and the
expectations of the fair. The next eighty-five minutes will involve students in
five, sixteen minute simulation activities. The last ten minutes will involve
everyone and any final questions.
The stations
will be run by volunteers. The volunteers will be provided with information
about the disability they will be discussing, questions to ask students, and
directions on how to run the stations.
