What’s Happening at SOAR365
Everyone has skills, talents and strengths to share in the workplace – including people with disabilities. That’s why every October, SOAR365 is proud to celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). This year’s theme is “Access to Good Jobs for All.”
Did you know? People with disabilities face more than double the unemployment rate and are far less likely to be employed.
Our DSPs work hard to meet each participant’s goals. Daily activities focus on life skills, like reading, cooking, cleaning, shopping and more.
“We are here for the individuals and getting to know them,” says Gloria Womack, DSP. And Gloria has known some of our participants longer than anyone—they met her decades ago as a special education teacher at Maymont Elementary!
Curious kids love to explore the world around them, and the observations they make help them grow and learn. By the age of three, children are learning shapes, colors, and patterns. They also begin to notice differences in the way people around them look, talk, and move. Here are some helpful strategies for talking to children about disabilities.
