Hello out there!
It is the final day of the A!TLC Fall 2013 Semester and we cannot believe it. It has been a pretty epic few months! We have done so many things and feel like a great team. We are also so excited to see what the next semester (starting on January 7, 2014!) will bring. But for now, let's all stop and enjoy our holiday break....
Today the A!TLC will be going off campus to celebrate and to get a little bit festive! :)
We will begin by toasting one another over lunch and then head to the Southland Mall to do some of that Christmas Shopping that we mentioned in our last blog entry. This is Christmas giving in real time - we will have half an hour to seek out the perfect gift for whoever we have been assigned to be a Secret Santa for. Then, everyone will meet up to do the big exchange. As we are a bunch of extremely thoughtful (and modest!) people, this Secret Santa gift exchange is a pretty big deal to us and we are so excite to see the look on our lucky gift recipient's face as they tear into their present! Good vibes all around and a very high note to end the Semester on. Huge thanks to everyone who made this Semester possible, and to our brilliant and ever-so hardworking Student Researchers. It is a beautiful thing to get to work together like this each day.
We would all like to wish you (yes, you!) a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year! HO HO HO!
All the best,
The A!TLC

UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Hello out there!
Well....today is the day. The Un International Day of Persons with Disabilities and we at A!TLC are proud to be part of and celebrate the day! The theme for the day is 'Break Barriers, Open Doors: For an Inclusive Society and Development for All!
Over the past two months we have been working with Chelsey and Jenni - two Kinesiology students enrolled in Kin 342 Active Living & Developmental Disabilities to highlight the day! Leading up to today we have been going to various U of R classes to show a ten minute presentation highlighting Astonished! and providing information to students and insturctors on how they can get involved with Astonished!
Today, Tuesday December 3, we have a booth set up in Riddell Centre from 1-4pm. With Jenni and Chelsey we will be handing out Tim Horton's coffee and snacks to those who stop by to learn more about Astonished! To keep things interesting we also have a jar filled with candy and are asking members of the student body to guess how many pieces the jar contains. The person who guesses correctly or is the closet will win the jar! We are also encouraging people to ask us questions about what it is like to live with complex physical disAbility. Throughout the afternoon we will be posting their questions on the blog. Over the next few weeks we will be answering the questions. If you can't make it today ensure you come back to the blog to see the questions that were asked of us and our responses! .......Stay Tuned!
