September is EdCeptional Kids Month!
During the month of September EdVenture Children's Museum will be celebrating the abilities of children and individuals who are facing life with the challenges of a disability. Throughout the month, special events will be offered in the museum to showcase the talents of children across South Carolina who have soared beyond the restrictions that a disability can create. Through the generosity of donors, children with disabilities and their families will be admitted free on Sundays in September.
SCATP staff members will be there for some of the demonstrations.
Some of the events include:
* Unique art projects for families of children with visual, sensory, developmental disabilities.
* Masks in Motion: an interactive program where masks are revealed as three performers combine African, jazz, modern and world dance in order to explore tolerance through stories from around the world.
* Demonstration of how service dogs can open doors and make life easier for people with physical disabilities.
* Demonstrations of how you can "make your computer speak" and assist you if you are working with disabilities.
* Demonstration by the Rolling ThunderWheelchair Basketball Team.
* Performance by tne South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind's choral group.
* Dramatic, musical and improvisational presentations by Carolina Actors with Special Talents, a group that consists of children and adults with cognitive, physical and emotional disabilities.
* Performances by the Special Olympics Cheerleaders.
