Feedback to Prevention: Disabilities Awareness and Bullying Prevention

http://db.tt/QY9SywMc

Calls from Maine Parent and Teacher groups (PTOs) are asking The Cromwell Center for Disabilities Awareness (CCDA) to educate adults, as well as children, with trainings consistent with The Cromwell Method TM presented in the 3 thru 5th grade classrooms. 

A composite of the evaluation results of one PTO program is attached at the link http://db.tt/QY9SywMc. This positive feedback is from the Burchard Dunn Elementary School in New Gloucester, ME, a program conducted on October 19, 2011 in the school auditorium/gym.

"We Change Attitudes":  Along with disabilities awareness discussion and teaching people centered language, the Cromwell instructors address bullying behaviors and the mistreatment of others,. The Cromwell Center for Disabilities Awareness presents information to "change attitudes" about everyone with disabilities, either visible, or invisible, acquired  or inherited.

Nearly every day, it seems there is some negative media story with a focus on the damaging impact of bullying behaviors in some schools or workplaces.  Wouldn't it be helpful, and newsworthy for the media to report on The Cromwell Center for Disabilities Awareness prevention programs, where special interactive curricula, and trained instructors teach about the harmful impact of bullying behaviors to children and adults?

Moreover, The Cromwell Method TM teaches positive interactions, by engaging children in discussions about inclusiveness and how we value every person, supporting their opportunity to live in accepting communities.  As one parent wrote on the Burchard Dunn evaluation, "I'm excited for my 3rd grader being exposed to this training, thanks!"

Please contact The Cromwell Center for Disabilities Awareness if we can help your organization, or school with disabilities awareness education and training.  http://www.cromwellcenter.org/.
