Training for School Pupils, Teachers & LSA's

ThinkAbility Co-Founder and Director Nathan Popple runs all of the training sessions for school teachers, LSA's and school children.

​

Nathan attended both main stream primary and high schools and discusses his lived experience as a disabled person in a mainstream school, including the positives and negatives and highlights practical approaches that he felt could have been put in place to enable his abilities.

​

Nathan talks to school children about having a classmate who has a disability and encourages them to ask him questions about his disability and how to include people with a disability at playtime and in general friendship circles. Nathan encourages children to see what a person with a physical disability can do and gives advice on how to do this. 

​

Nathan meets with classes from Reception through to university students and adapts his approach to fit with the age of his audience.
