In this action project which is prevention strategies of ableism includes a group participation from schools specifically grade schools. This will be practiced in grade schools specifically in inner cities because there are high variations of depression that are a result of ableism. inner city public schools barely have any great resources as is, the teachers provide a poor source of aid when it applies to schools as such.
The actions included is first by reevaluating all the teachers with a survey to properly choose teachers that are more empathic about their students. We then proceed to a naturalistic observation to properly attain to what’s really going on to kids that suffer from ableism. once observed we then move forward to affirmations to get into the students heads that everyone is able and loved and accepted. provide more games that includes everyone for example, sitting in a circle and playing games that remembers specific things about another and if one fails, they have to start over. another option to have games such as catch a ball and say what you like to do and pass it to another so they remember.
Ableism is the discrimination off disabled persons within any places of society it can also vary in schools for example: providing inaccessible classroom materials. Ableism is highly effected in kids today and it carries on into adulthood, by a disabled person thinking they aren’t up to the standards of society. this program will introduce that everybody has their own problems and that no one is exactly perfect so love yourself and others.
Instructor Comment (Sandra Sepulveda-Kozakowski, Oct 20 at 8:41am): You have good ideas but interviewing and observing teachers and students will require IRB approval which we don’t have time to get. So think about a smaller action such as emailing teachers or principals in a school (s) and ask them about how they address ableism.
