Seminars

Experiential Learning Seminars are being presented to schoolchildren where they are given the opportunity disabilities through Role-Play.

An opportunity is given to the children to ask questions of the facilitators, which are answered factually & in a sensitive manner.

In-Service Training is provided for all PADI facilitators. The topics covered in this training include: -

Insight into various disabilities.
Grooming and Personal Management.
Providing Skills and Business Etiquette.
Literacy and Basic Bookkeeping.
Motivational Skills.
Fund-raising Techniques.

As a result facilitators have become more professional in the way they present themselves in the seminars, and are able to pass on their skills to other people with disabilities, thus demonstrating that they too can become leaders within their own communities.

PADI has designed seminars for Educators and have conducted Programmes with: -

• Johannesburg University – Master Students,
• Johannesburg University – B Ed Honours Students.

• National Department of Education.
