How to Raise Disability Awareness
Raising disability awareness can help educate the public about how to treat and communicate with people who have various disabilities. There are several effective strategies you can use to raise disability awareness among the public including holding a fundraiser, taking part in local events and creating an informative website.
- Hold a fundraiser. Holding a fundraiser will not only increase the public’s awareness of people with disabilities, it will also help you bring in much needed funds for organizations for the disabled. Choose a specific cause, and focus on representing it honestly and accurately. Involve your friends, family and co-workers to help you raise as much money as possible.
- Participate in public events. Another great way to raise awareness and money for people with disabilities is by participating in local public events such as races. Running for a cause will help you attract attention and raise funds. Promote your event as much as possible by using online resources such as social media websites and forums.
- Build a website. Creating your own website is a great way to promote disability awareness. It gives you complete control over your awareness campaign. The more effort you put in into building your website, the more people you can reach. Include your personal experiences as well as factual information. Create a well organized layout that makes it easy to find additional information and resources. Post your contact information in plain view, so readers can reach out to you with comments or questions. Promote your website by posting links on message boards, social media websites and online directories.
