Available spots
Service Description
Join us for a magical adventure through the stories, songs, and life lessons of Disney! In this interactive course, students will explore the moral messages behind some of Disney’s most beloved films, including Cinderella, Toy Story, Frozen, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio. Each week, we’ll dive into a different movie through lively group discussions, sing-alongs, and character comparisons, while learning related American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary and virtually exploring Disney parks and attractions. We'll reflect on themes like kindness, friendship, self-acceptance, imagination, and honesty—connecting them to our own lives through fun games, creative lists, and personal storytelling. Whether you're analyzing lyrics from Let It Go, designing papel picado, or deciding what you'd do if you could fly like Peter Pan, this class is all about learning from the heart of Disney. Perfect for fans of storytelling, music, and meaningful conversation!
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
