We had a White Cane Day Walk with about 100 students and staff. It was great - check out the video on the Educator Bookmarks page of our website www.nyise.org/start.htm Kim Benisatto Operations Manager The New York Institute for Special Education 999 Pelham Pkwy Bronx, NY 10469 (718) 519-7000 x315 www.nyise.org From: Sylvia Perez [mailto:SPerez@lvib.org] Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2010 9:48 AM To: admindiv@lists.aerbvi.org Subject: [Admindiv] October was awareness month-what did your organization/school do to recognize it? I am enjoying all of your responses so far. Here’s a new question to generate ideas. October is Disability Awareness Month and includes White Cane Awareness Day (10/15) and Disability Mentoring Day. So, wanting to know and share what we all did this year to celebrate, create awareness, and increase opportunities for those we serve. This will give us all ideas for next year. Please share…. Sylvia
