Two college students are stepping up at Canon Metropolis Excessive College to assist these with disabilities.

Atalia Fisher and Chloe Martin are each college students with disabilities.  They’re concerned with Thespian Troupe, band, and present choir. And as a part of what’s known as a “capstone challenge,” they each just lately took it upon themselves to place collectively a presentation, standing up in a board of training assembly, and showcase why there must be substantial enhancements to their faculty’s theater.

Atalia and Chloe went over reworking choices and prices to ensure the CCHS auditorium is extra accessible to these with disabilities. They proposed: wheelchair ramps, listening to amplifiers, captions, house between the curtain and backstage, braille indicators, an ASL translator, headphones for noise sensitivity, and railings for staircases – they seemingly considered all the things.

College management stated Atalia and Chloe’s suggestions have been “properly acquired” by the board.

Chloe stated, “After doing analysis, we found that our auditorium and the areas round it are lower than ADA requirements, so we determined to (current a) [sic] prototype and recommend adjustments to our faculty board. She added, “These adjustments not solely make theater extra accessible for viewers members, but in addition for these on stage and backstage.”

If the varsity board decides to maneuver ahead with their designs, Chloe says her and Atalia are able to make their prototypes a actuality.
