Welcome

WELCOME TO MY DISABILITY AWARENESS GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD PROJECT

My name is Annie and I'm an Ambassador Girl Scout. I'm a Sister, a Daughter, a Friend, an Animal Lover, and I'm a Kind Person.

I am working on my Gold Award project about Disability Awareness. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. This website has lots of disability awareness activities to use with people of all ages and with all kinds of groups, including Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, school, faith based, work based or any other group.

The activities are meant to give people a better awareness of what it might be like to live with a disability and to increase their empathy for people with a variety of disabilities.

HOW TO USE THE WEBSITE

Click on the "Disability Awareness Activities" tab on the top of the website pages, or the button at the bottom of this page that says "Click here for the Disability Awareness Activities". Then choose any Disability Awareness Activity that you want.

The first six activities you can use to make a Disability Trail. There are also books, videos, and other resources to help you better understand different disabilities. The two activities on the bottom of that Disability Awareness Activities page are my Senior Girl Scout Take Action Projects, a Pinterest page and a slide presentation. Those will also give you an awareness of what people with disabilities can do, and do very well.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE WEBSITE...

I hope you have fun with the activities, but before you leave the website, PLEASE FILL OUT THE SHORT SURVEY.

I need to know if my project met it's goals. The project goals will be measured by the answers on the short survey. Just click on the Disability Awareness Activities Survey button on the top of any webpage. There is also a Survey Button on the bottom of some of the website pages as a reminder. (You should only fill out the Survey once, not one for each activity.)

I have been a Girl Scout for 13 years. Now I’m, an Ambassador Girl Scout working on my Gold Award about Disability Awareness.
