A Great Event

Today our staff attended an event at Journey’s Christian Church in Apopka. The event was very similar to the event our organization is hosting on the 29th. This event was hosted by Nathaniel’s Hope & Bright Feats, two organizations that work with children with disabilities. Overall the event was awesome, they had different rooms which hosted a multitude of activities for the children. There were also a lot of information for the parents. In particular, we found one presentation very cool. 

This program was created by two women that offered an immersion into the world of special needs children. Their program is designed for kids 6th grade and below to help them understand what it is like to have certain disabilities. For example, to understand dislexia you would have to trace a picture while looking at it in a mirror. To understand sensory overload problems, you would have to take a test while people made loud noises and flashed lights off and on. 

To expose young kids to these types of demonstration goes a long way to opening their minds and it should be implemented in every school nationwide. We wish you all the best, hopefully we will be able to post contact information on that particular program soon.
