The collaboration between the university and the school district enhances the instructional environment of the students and the awareness of the campus community toward the special needs of some people, Yilla said. Students are required to work 10 hours in the school district. Some of the students in Yilla's class have disabilities as well. Everyone should know that life isn't always fair, and you have to deal with the cards you're dealt. This allows the spinal cord and the coveri ng membranes to protrude out the back.
Students also learn about the proper behavior with disabled children.
The class does not promote hugging and other personal displays of affection. Yilla said that when the children become adults they have to know what is appropriate. We ask for handshakes and high-fives. We have to model appropriate behavior. Disabled students from the school district participated in their own olympics Friday in honor of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, with remodeled forms of bicycling, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, tennis and volleyball.
