Ability Awareness Games
The Awareness Games are a series of fun filled activities and games to teach children and adults about disability. It’s a fun way to show that people with disabilities are just like them. They have feelings, dreams and live happy and fulfilling lives. They don’t want pity; they want to be accepted and not treated any differently because of how they look or act.
Students divide into teams and learn how to use adaptive equipment. They are introduced to Paralympic sports and try different challenges based on real athletes.
