Kool Kids on the block
KOOL KIDS ON THE BLOCK is a DISABILITY AWARENESS PROGRAM which includes puppet skits and hands-on learning stations showing that kids are more alike than different and that EVERYONE IS SPECIAL! These presentations open doors for individuals to look at both similarities and differences and through discussion, examine their own feelings and attitudes.
KOOL KIDS ON THE BLOCK are 5 child size puppets
that
represent
a variety of disabilities.
As a result of the KOOL KIDS ON THE BLOCK program, our hope is that children and adults will:
• Know the facts about a variety of disabilities.
• Better understand individuals with disabilities.
• Feel more comfortable developing friendships with individuals with disabilities.
Our vision for the future includes:
• All individuals feeling welcomed in the classroom.
• Forming positive attitudes towards individuals with disabilities.
• Remembering that an individual with a disability is a person first – like everyone else.
• Appreciating and accepting differences.
