Teaching families to value and care for their children with disabilities is so important. But what happens when the community around them is unwelcoming, or even hostile, because of stigma and misinformation?
That’s why, since 2021, our Community Outreach Team has partnered with schools, churches, clinics, and other local sites to host Disability Advocacy Trainings. These trainings help communities better understand disability, break down harmful stigma, and learn how to welcome and support children with disabilities and their families.
At our last Disability Advocacy training course in March, we had 75 more advocates complete their training and receive their certificates of attendance - bringing greater inclusion and hope to their communities!
Thank you for making this possible through your support!
