It includes a unique experiential learning component to hone students' ability to practice the skills and values underlying empathy, while simultaneously creating a fun and meaningful social opportunity for children with disabilities.
Geographic areas served: We’re on a mission to promote disability inclusion by empowering educators and engaging students and communities.
Programs: The Nora Project trains and coaches educators and offers a suite of SEL programs that dive deeply into the concepts of empathy and inclusion, explicitly addressing disability and difference as a part of human diversity. Our programs connect what students are learning to the real world, offering them authentic opportunities to practice what they learn during direct instruction.
