What's "Normal" Anyway?

What's "Normal" Anyway? A Stigma Obliterating Disability Film Series These conversations will empower participants to build a community where
everyone belongs. Who Should Attend?

In collaboration with Needham Community Education (NCE) and the Needham Education Foundation (NEF), a dedicated group of Needham parents is proud to present a four-part Disability Film and Panel Series at the Newman Elementary School auditorium. This groundbreaking series aims to spark meaningful dialogue about the experiences of people with disabilities and foster a stronger and a more inclusive

community. Each evening will feature a powerful film followed by a panel discussion with local leaders, individuals with disabilities, school administrators, and other stakeholders. The panels will explore how the themes of the films intersect with the experiences of young people in Needham, where 18% of students receive special education services. The series is open to all community members and is most appropriate for ages 13 and up. Registration Details:

Thank you to all of you who attended the movie screening event on April 3rd.
Some take aways that came up-
1. Request to school- "Please don't take recess away from kids that have ADHD, they need the opportunity to move to regulate better"
2. Request of parents- "Please don't raise your voice or get upset when children with ADHD lose their belongings. Continue to patiently remind them of their responsibilities whether it is school work or otherwise. They often respond to these reminders with time."
3. Engaging in physical activities and movement can help kids with ADHD regulate their energy levels and facilitate their ability to focus on school work
4. Medication is another option that can be explored and is helpful to many.
