LLEAP - Limb Loss Education & Awareness Program

Amputee Coalition of America

An Outreach Program of Amputee Coalition of America's National Limb Loss Information Center

NOW AVAILABLE AS FREE DOWNLOADABLE FILES!

LLEAP addresses a key problem: the social stigma of children with disabilities, particularly those with a limb difference. The curriculum is based upon the premise that children can be taught to recognize and appreciate differences in themselves and others. Through a sequence of multi-sensory activities, children will:

  • Realize that individuals are more alike than different
  • Identify their own strengths and attributes
  • Develop an appreciation for the strengths and accomplishments of other people
  • Explore interdependence and the nature of the helping relationship
  • Become aware of how limb loss/limb difference might affect daily activities
  • Appreciate the strengths & accomplishments of individuals with limb loss/limb differences
  • Understand the types, functions, and limitations of prostheses

With more than twenty classroom activities, the curriculum can be adapted for use with children from preschool through sixth grade.
