Students demonstrate an improvement in attitudes and behavior towards people with a disability as a result of our in-school workshops. The schools we work with report a reduction in bullying and other antisocial behaviors. Students who have suffered persecution and exclusion from their classmates find themselves included and respected as never before. Most importantly, these changes are deep and long-lasting because they originate within the hearts of the students themselves through their own personal experience, rather than being handed down as instruction from an adult.

The 2023-2024 teacher/student survey responses highlight a significant increase in positive attitudes towards peers with a disability:
• 90% of responding students said it would now be easier to make friends with someone with a disability
• 90% teachers said ATOU improved peer interactions in their classroom
• 95% teachers want each of their classes to experience the ATOU workshop
