Understanding Disabilities, Inc. (UD) provides disability awareness programming to increase awareness, raise consciousness, and provide the tools forstudents to act compassionately at school today and in society tomorrow. We highlight all that people with disabilities can do, and we promote a culture ofinclusion and respect.
Our elementary school programs teach about and allow greater understanding of a range of physical, sensory, and developmental disabilities. The impact oflooking beyond a disability to see the complete person is resounding. Children learn we are all the same inside, and that it is possible to reach out infriendship to someone who may initially seem a bit different from you.
We are holding a spring gala event to celebrate our latest initiative, UD at Home, to the community- which funds our organization entirely by donation.
The event will be held on March 23, 2018, and will help UD raise the money it needs to provide disability awareness programming.
