Understanding Our Differences Program for Elementary Students

Post date: Nov 6, 2017 3:43:43 PM

Students in grade 3-5 at all elementary schools will participate in two Understanding Our Differences (UOD) programs this school year. Programs typically start with a 30 minute video or presentation about the disability, followed by 3-4 small group activities that run about an hour, and finish with a speaker and Q&A.
