Re: What would you look for in a school club related to disabilities? - August 13th 2017, 03:33 PM

It doesn't all have to be focused on the disability piece. I have a friend with severe cerebral palsy who's mission in life is basically to prove that in most ways, she's just like everyone else. Plan some "typical" activities just like any other club does.

As for people being uncomfortable, it's definitely a concern. Most of the time it's from either a lack of exposure or a genuine curiosity where someone doesn't want to be rude. I would also worry about people joining out of pity or for the sake of their reputation rather than genuine interest.
