The ANNA FOUNDATION FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATION Mall Haul 2011 will once again partner students with disabilities and their typical peers together for a fun, supervised back-to-school shopping experience.  Many students with disabilities have never had the opportunity to participate in that great American rite of passage ~ back-to-school shopping with friends at the mall, something as simple and easy as hanging out with friends.

The ANNA FOUNDATION FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATION Mall Haul 2011 will service students with disabilities and typical students together by:

• Creating friendships between typical students and students with disablities

  • Helping to reduce social isolation for students with disabilities

  • Helping to end harassment and stereotyping of students with disabilities

  • Helping typical students gain a greater knowledge of the similarities among themselves and a student with disabilities

• Creating opportunities for all participants to apply money and math skills 

• Creating opportunities for students with disabilities to succeed independently in a public environment in a fun, positive way
