Just Different Learning about disability

There is nothing like actually confronting the issues! I think I speak for a lot of teachers when I say that with little personal experience of disability, it is difficult to talk to the children with real meaning and understanding.

The workshop was a real learning experience for me, and I know that experiences like this are the best way to learn and gain an understanding for children and adults.

The photos and commentary were excellent as it really showed the children that Toby can do the things that they can and enjoys lots of the same things. The photos challenged their ideas on what a disabled person can and cannot do. This fitted in very well and would enrich the learning experience for this aspect of the curriculum.

Thank you so much. I was certainly challenged today and I know the children were too. I admire what you are doing and hope it really takes off as this is a perfect way to introduce children to the issues of disability.
