Typical sensitivity classes offer students experiences that emulate various impairments or disabilities as a means of developing empathy. This is not that class.
This course focuses on our own conduct and takes the DSP on an introspective journey discussing how their previous life experiences, culture and possible prejudices may affect their conduct and provides practical ways to show sensitivity to the people they support.

Repetitive and rant like
Nov 9, 2022
While there were some very good topics and points to be made this course was not great. It was way to long, repetitive and the instructor seems to go on rants. It was painful to have to listen to him for 3+ hours. Please update your curriculum.

The Presenter expressed a lot of good information. He was very thorough and gave specific examples to make his information understandable. I feel like the information presented made me much more aware of ways to be sensitive to those living with disability.

My son is 17 years old and this training is EXACTLY how we have been with my son. It needs to be shouted from the rooftops. I do not know how many times in his 17 years I have had to correct people for how they act, talk, and are so INSENSITIVE to him. One of his main triggers is baby talk and treating him LESS THAN or pity. I wish this training was mandatory for the general public, but especially for all staff, family, friends, schools, etc who come in direct contact with people with exceptionalities.
