Over the winter, Cubs have had some fantastic guest speakers to help us earn our Disability Awareness badge. This enables Cubs to
-
Learn about different disabilities, noting that these can be both visible and not visible
-
Finding out how equipment, technology or adaptations can support people
-
Gaining an insight into how to tailor how we communicate
-
Thinking about how our local area or favourite hobbies could be made more inclusive.
Thank you to Sandy the retired guide dog and her owner for answering so many questions, and giving extensive information about guide dog training and skills. These really are incredible animals.
Huge thanks also to Kate who ran a very interactive session, drawing on her profession as a children’s occupational therapist – even bringing a Wizzybug for the Cubs to experience.
