Enhancing Understanding of Students With Physical Disabilities, Module 17. Revised.
McBain, Susan
This staff development module is part of one of three groups of career guidance modules developed, field-tested, and revised by a six-state consortium coordinated by the American Institutes for Research. This module is designed for guidance personnel who work in counseling and guidance with students in school settings, grades K-12. The goal of this module is to help users become aware of attitudes toward the physically disabled, perspectives held by the physically disabled about themselves, and ways to improve skills associated with open and comfortable communication about disability. The module format consists of an overview, goals, objectives, outline, time schedule, glossary, readings, skill development activities, and bibliography. A Coordinator's Guide is also included with detailed instructions for presenting the module in a workshop setting as well as the facilitator's roles and functions, and the criteria used in assessing the participants' achievement of module objectives.
