Through these types of events Push America strives to bring about awareness and create an open dialogue on the topic of disability. Refer to your Push America organizational manual to find out hot to organize your own disability awareness event.

Some disability awareness events your chapter can coordinate include:
• Empathy Training Exercises - Used by chapters to expose the public to exercises that simulate what it MIGHT be like to have a disability.
• Empathy Dinners - Bring in parents and other community members and help them gain a greater understanding of people with disabilities.
• Sporting Events - Schedule an exhibition game between your chapter and local wheelchair basketball, hockey, soccer, or baseball team. This offers a glimpse into the diverse world of athletes with disabilities.
• Speakers with a Disability - Have your chapter sponsor or host a speaker who has a disability. This is an ideal way to acquaint you, your fellow students, and the community with issues pertinent to people with disabilities.
• Accessibility Walks - Using a wheelchair or prescription cane take a tour of your campus facilities with faculty and campus administrators to determine what areas of campus may be difficult for students with disabilities to negotiate.

*Push America neither claims nor suggests any of these events or exercises to be representative of exactly what it means or is like to have a disability.
