Whether you are a teacher, a member of the clergy, a medical professional, or an employer, it is important to understand how disability and chronic illness affect the people you work with and serve in your community. Sarah Blake speaks to these issues as a person who has lived with both disability and chronic illness, from the point of view as one who has received service and one who has provided service to others.
One of Sarah's passions is bridging the "us/them gap." Sarah's presentations to religious communities focus on ways to build community and foster reconciliation between people who have been wounded by this division.
Sarah's presentations to educators focus on the impact of disability and chronic illness in the classroom and on the development of peer relationships. She also provides general awareness presentations for colleges and universities.
Sarah's presentations to medical professionals include how to communicate effectively with clients who have disabilities, the impact of chronic illness and disability on daily life, interactions between multiple disabilities and medical conditions, and general awareness presentations including strategies for referral to appropriate support resources.
Sarah is most available to present near Indianapolis, IN. However, special arrangements can be made for travel outside Indiana. Send email to book Sarah.
