Mrs. Alpana Singh, a special educator and mentor with over 21 years of experience in special education shares about an event she has organized in her elementary school at Cupertino school district, CA for over 17 years called the "Ability Awareness day/week." Her takeaway message is that education of the different needs and abilities of our students with disabilities is the first step to full inclusion.
What if school OTs can take on organizing such events in schools?
