Beyond Ableism Toward Allyship
This workshop will cover the historical mistreatment of individuals with disabilities has shaped society’s current perspective and bias; current statistics for people with disabilities; reveal America’s biases toward disability and show the impact of the intersectionality between the largest marginality (disability) and other historically underserved communities; understand how people think about disability affects how they feel about disability and how adapting new models and perspectives allows us to imagine a more accessible and equitable society for all.
