These resources from the Green Enough Project establish the knowledge, skills, and competencies professionals need to effectively educate individuals with D.D./I.D. and their families on adopting more sustainable practices.
The Green Enough Training Materials are for use by professionals working with people with D.D./I.D. to provide training to adults with D.D./I.D.
This target group includes adults with developmental intellectual disabilities, down syndrome, some cases of autism, or any other condition that impacts cognition. Individuals with D.D./I.D. tend to exhibit varying ecological behaviours. This may be explained by multiple reasons such as cognitive barriers, functioning skills, sensory sensitivities, communication difficulties, lack of adaptation, limited access to tailored environmental education, restricted access to adaptive technologies, underestimation of their potential and stereotypes and motivation.
The Green Enough materials include a PowerPoint for each module. Each presentation consists of introductory and explanatory sections with a final assessment. There is also easy read versions of the modules, and a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guide with practical examples and ideas.
