Dale DeLaughter Posts: 1 10/8/2019	Dale DeLaughter Posts: 1 We talk about famous people with disabilities. To do this I put together a matching worksheet where interns match the famous person with the disability to a description of the famous person. Then we review this sheet by going through a google slide show titled that includes the same famous people and how they became successful, struggles that they have had with their disability, etc. I also throw in a couple slides with some interns from past years and their successes. We also talk about NDEMA and go through the 411 on Disability Disclosure info from ODEP. I pick and choose from 411 as it is lengthy, but the info is really good and relevant.
