Lunch & Learn: Disability Awareness: Changing the Way We Understand Disability​

In this session, we’ll establish a practical understanding of neurodiversity and disability.

Our facilitator will share their own lived experience to discuss how we must change our perception and understanding of disability. We’ll explore the concept of disability, how disablism arises, and address why accessible practice

is essential.

We’ll demonstrate how certain practices exist, particularly in education, that manifest and often create disabling and unproductive environments to the detriment of all. ​

However, it’s not all doom and gloom, and you’ll also learn how inclusive and accessible change is not only the right thing to do but will contribute to a more positive and productive professional life.
