At the start of the quarter students enrolled in Disability Awareness learn to identify and research their disability. This gives them the confidence and expertise to be able to educate those around them about what their life is like. This also empowers the students to advocate for their own needs.
This course engages the students to research and report about many different advocacy groups and community organizations in WA specific for people with disabilities. Here the students make contacts and learn about resources available to them.
Students shared their Disability Statements with our community, giving them an opportunity to share about themselves and how they want others to view them.
Disability Awareness is one of the many courses OLS Students take to obtain their associates degree from OLS. More
information about our curriculum is available on our website. To learn more about our program register for an upcoming Information Session.
