SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
Disability and inclusion sessions for KS1 through to KS4, covering the South of England.
WHAT TEACHERS SAY ABOUT US
It was a very thought provoking morning and the children really enjoyed listening and talking to you. Talking to them after you had left made me realise that you had had a significant impact on their views and, importantly, perceptions.
Head Teacher – Somerset Primary School
The children were fascinated by Alison’s demonstration of how she was able to do the same everyday things as able-bodied people. She just does them in a different way.
Deputy Head – London Primary School
As is always the case, Alison presented her sessions with the perfect balance of professionalism, personality and humour. She never ceases to impress with her commitment to her message and faces were transfixed in the classroom as barriers came down and bonds were formed.
Deputy Head – Fareham Academy Secondary School
For many children, contact and direct communication with someone with disabilities is limited or non-existent. This opportunity is an investment in children’s (and teacher’s) capacity to challenge discrimination.
Key Stage Two Teacher
Your work is vital in helping to shape young people who will grow up with a positive attitude to difference and disability.
Head Teacher – Surrey Primary School
My children rarely talk about much when I pick them up from school but they couldn’t stop talking about their school visitor called Alison who was so fun and got them thinking about how bad bullying can feel to people with disabilities. She got them using their toes and they can’t wait to have her back in school
Year 1 & 4 Parent - Southend-on-Sea
During anti-bullying week this week at St. John’s, I’m pleased that the school took bullying seriously and my son talked lots about Alison and how everyone should be accepted for being different even if you have a disability
Year 3 Parent Winchester
Alison visited my son’s school last week. She worked in his classroom and he told me she was amazing as she got the class to tidy it up using their feet by picking things up with their toes. She got them drawing pictures with their feet too and they had such fun doing this. He told me he was nervous when he first met Alison and seeing her short arms made him go quiet but then she made everyone happy when they saw how she drove her car and how she did horse-riding and he said he learnt about lots of disabilities and she answered questions too
