Abstract
I have chosen to design a research project focusing on the awareness of disability on college campuses. Through my experience as a college student, I have witnessed the lack of communication students have about the subject of disability. Through research, discussions, and an original program, I plan to provide an opportunity for college students to discuss disability. Also using these venues, I plan to collect my own information to compile a research project with the hypothesis of seeing attitude changes in students about their view of disability. After the program is done, I will collect questionnaires to assess, and evaluate if my hypothesis is confirmed.
