In this paper, impressions on the Disability Awareness Training are presented which was organised by Middle East Technical University (METU) Library and Documentation Center within the 48th Library Week celebration program. This training takes two hours and consists of two parts: "Attitudes and Behaviours" and "Models of Disability". The aim of the training is to help to examine the attitudes and behaviours about people with disabilities and to guide the attendees in how to communicate and work more effectively with them. After the positive feedbacks, it is decided to write a brief information on training. In this context, the creation and scope of Disability Awareness Training are explained and feedbacks of the participants are given with their own words. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
