Disability Awareness (Updated, January 2018) (Center for Parent Information & Resources, CPIR)

Description:

Parent Centers receive many calls and emails each year from people looking for materials on disability awareness. People need these materials to help community members, employers, organizations, and residents learn more about disabilities and what it means for people to live with a disability or raise a child with a disability. Having information about disability awareness can be put to many different uses–from classroom instructional units, to Girl Scout information fairs, to school reports, to youth groups.
