IDEAS FOR PRESENTATION TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
We are caught in a world that is trying to teach our children to simply "accept", or, even worse, "tolerate" those with differences. To really see inclusion work within our schools, communities, churches and society in general, we must make a shift from "tolerance" and "acceptance" to understanding that each individual will bring something unique to the greater whole. When others come to understand the interconnectedness of all people and how every human being is needed in that larger "whole".
This is meant to be a resource for all those who are doing presentations on trisomy 21 or disabilities in general. It is a compilation of ideas from various community members for presentations to various age groups.
