Step+4.+Process


 * 1) Research your disability. Follow the websites that are listed under your role assignment on the next page. You will need to define your disability and find ten characteristics of your disability. You will choose the five characteristics that you feel are most important to know include them in your brochure. After you visit the websites under your disability, please find at least two other websites to use as resources.
 * 2) In pairs, you will compare your list of ten characteristics of your disability and find five characteristics that relate to both your disability and your partner's disability. You will work in a couple of different pairs in order to find the five characteristics that relate to more than one disability. These five characteristics will also be included in your brochure.
 * 3) Research at least one famous person who has the same disability as you. Find three facts about the person that you can relate to. Note the reasons you think those three facts relate to you as an individual. This information will be included in your brochure.
 * 4) Research your rights as an individual with disabilities. What are some rights and services that you will need access to in becoming a successful and independent individual? Find five specific human rights that you will include in your brochure.
 * 5) Once you have the the above four tasks completed, you will put your brochure together. We will be using a brochure program that you learned how to use in your computer class. You will have the following parts included in your brochure; disability name, definition of your disability, five characteristics of that disability, five characteristics that relate to multiple disabilities, a famous person (or people) with the disability and three facts that relate to you and why you connect to those facts about the person, a list of five human rights every person with a disability has, and a reference list containing at least two of your own websites. You can include images if you have room but the bulk of your brochure needs to be the above information.
