Sensitivity Training at Fuchs Mizrachi School

In partnership with the Organization of Autism Research, Yachad Cleveland presented a  sensitivity training for the high school members of the Yachad Club at Fuchs Mizrachi School.

Through guided conversations and multimedia exercises, students experienced simulations designed to help them better understand neurodivergence and disability. The training also created space for thoughtful dialogue about the importance of inclusion in our classrooms and communities, emphasizing culture and attitude change and encouraging students to see themselves as advocates for others.
Thank you to Fuchs Mizrachi School for having us!

 

If you, your school, synagogue or other type of group would want this training,
please reach out to Sara to schedule!
