I am a disability Awareness Trainer, and we do not adovocate simulation, also that this trainng should only be delivered by a qualified DET. I hope the school accept these remarks and do not use this form of teaching again. If kids want to dress up ask them about their favourite cartoon hero, I am sure that they will get so much more enjoyment out of that.

To better grasp the concept of permanents, by experiencing what its like, rather then dressing with a certian look. I mean sometimes you can't tell if someone is disabled or not because they seem lke everybody else. Perhaps it might be better to break the Disabled stereotype, People living with disabilities are not STUPID! It is time we started to teach our children that people living with disabilities, are equal to 'normal' people. They are not a curse or a plague that needs to be destroyed, they would be quit affective if able bodied people would look past their own ego and integrate them into the work place.

Because I don't regard my crutch as something I wear, it's something I use. Yesterday I wore a kilt, fishnets and big boots, plus my favourite jacket - the crutch wasn't part of the outfit...
