The Disability Concerns Team works to improve accessibility at Saint Matthew's for persons with disabilities. It is concerned with removing attitudinal, programmatic, and communication barriers, as well as architectural barriers.
During 2009, the team is concentrating on Attitudinal Accessibility, which involves educating the congregation about disability awareness. It is conducting educational activities with both adults and children. On May 24th, the team gave a Disability Awareness Presentation during the Adult Forum, where attendees viewed a DVD entitled The Ten Commandments of Communicating with People With Disabilities, and took home the handout Communication and Etiquette with Persons with Disabilities. A children's program is scheduled for later this year.
While the team does hold occasional meetings, most of its work this year is done by phone, e-mail, and brief discussions after Sunday services. If you are interested in joining this team contact Dr. Charlotte Shepard at 480-802-3922. |
