IDASL class improves lives for those with disabilities

The Interdisciplinary Disability Awareness and Service Learning (IDASL) Program at the CPD offers opportunities for USU students from a variety of disciplines to increase their awareness, knowledge and understanding of people with disabilities and their families across the life span.

IDASL is a class designed to help USU students and Cache County professionals/paraprofessionals learn about the challenges and barriers that those with disabilities face on a daily basis. They can use this awareness in their work in the community to tear down some of those barriers and improve the lives of these individuals and their families. 

The IDASL class includes individuals with disabilities and family members who share their personal experience and expertise. The interactions between these individuals and the students provide a unique forum for understanding the issues facing those with disabilities and their families.

For more detailed information about the IDASL class, including stipends, credit options, and time commitments, interested persons can contact the following individuals: Jeanie Peck, Alma Burgess, or Connie Panter.
