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!
Thanks for Reading!
