The rehabilitation counseling department “Embracing the Difference: The Ability Event” brings awareness of the ability that people with disabilities have.

The event, held April 13, was made up of experiential learning stations led by people with disabilities where participants can experience what it feels like to have that disability and how people with disabilities adapt or use adaptive equipment to live their lives successfully.

Stations were run by both students and community members and include: Cerebral palsy, vision loss, deaf and hard of hearing, autism, mental health disorders, attention deficit disorder and spinal cord injury.
