BILS offers a series of disability awareness programs tailored for corporations, service providers, government agencies, and other organizations that work with or provide services to people with disabilities. Our Awareness Program provides prospective recipients with
- An overview of the various definitions and laws regarding disability
- Cover topics that focus on dispelling common myths about people with disabilities;
- Teach communication, interpersonal, and other skills;
- Answer questions and problem solve issues specific to each organization.
The program includes real life vignettes, group exercises, and questions and answers to help participants examine and recognize their attitudes about people with disabilities in a safe, supportive environment. The goal is to promote understanding of the rights of people with disabilities and strategies for interacting with people with disabilities in a respectful and effective way.
