Description
Many
disability offices have ableism lurking in their policies and procedures and
don’t even realize it. Identifying and updating those will make your office
significantly more welcoming and supportive for disabled students. This webinar
will begin with an exploration of subtle ableism and what it looks like in
higher ed, change theory, and models of supporting disabled students in higher
education. The presenters will then each discuss a situation in their higher
education professional experiences where ableism was a factor, how policy and
practices were involved, and how they were able to make small changes that made
an enormous difference for the experience of disabled students. The discussion
will be guided by the Refocus
2.0 Disability Professionals Toolkit.
