Easter Seals NL’s “I Can Too!” Disability Education Awareness Program allows children to learn about disabilities in a fun, interactive way! Through the use of a video, books, and a collection of dolls with adaptive equipment, children learn that disability does not equal inability and that people with a disability are the same as everyone else, they may just do things a little differently. This presentation is free and is available to schools, scouting, guiding groups, after-school programs, and community groups. We advise allowing for 40 minutes for the presentation.
Red Shirt Day™ is a national awareness initiative that takes place during National Accessibility Week each year.
For more information about Red Shirt Day™, please contact Fund Development and Communications Manager, Samantha Parrell, by emailing samantha@eastersealsnl.ca or by calling (709) 754-1399 ext 229.
Our goal is to provide people of all ages with physical, cognitive, and any other disabilities with the opportunity to participate in programs and services that aim to build inclusion in Newfoundland and Labrador.
