Presentations for disability awareness include teaching attendees about:
The meaning of disability and impairment
How to treat and act around a person with a disability
Appropriate use of language when talking to or about someone with a disability
Understanding of people with disabilities rather than myths and misconceptions
Attitudes and barriers faced by people with disabilities

Lunch N Learn presentations showcase the staff, our guiding principles, our mission, and our services. These are meant to open talks of collaboration with other organizations to meet the disability communities’ needs and fill gaps in services.
