Sensitivity Awareness Workshop, Inc. held at Bonita Middle School

Bonita Middle School seventh-grader Miranda Stewart and eighth-grader Lindsey Williams monitor fellow students as they attempt to put together puzzles during a visual impairment task center when a Sensitivity Awareness Workshop, Inc. was held
April 8 at the school.

Fine motor skills are put to the test by students as they cut out shapes with their opposite hand at one of 10 task centers during the workshop.

Lisa Cronin Miller and her husband, Ray Miller, have created an organization to help people be more sensitive toward individuals who have a mental, physical or learning disability, like their 12-year-old daughter Rachal.

Called Sensitivity Awareness Workshop, Inc., the couple has put together a program that is informative and interactive.

On April 8, students at Bonita Middle School participated in the workshop which included some discussion on ways people can be insensitive and how that can be corrected, a DVD of Rachal experiencing life as a young child but also showing the damaging seizures she had as a baby, 10 task centers which let students get a hands-on experience of what it might be like if they were disabled and ending with students getting a reflective journal folder to complete.
