Why this approach?
Participants interact- Try out tools – not just watch/listen
Support one another
Work as a team.
The group models inclusion
Diverse abilities = diverse team strengths.

It includes emotions and feelings
Brain research: emotion is tied to
memory
Participants distinguish between
feelings/behaviors/thoughts
It puts participants in role as leaders
