Can your beliefs and attitudes affect how you perceive disability and persons with disabilities?
Over the last decades, disabled activists and theorists have challenged the unquestioned standards of normality implicit in our social arrangements. Critical disability studies is a relatively new discipline; it is closely related to activism and the quest for social justice. This webinar will examine the various models of disability and explore how our thinking about disability and persons with disabilities can either serve to include or exclude them from society.
Learning objectives

- Greater understanding of thinking about disability and persons with disability
- The roles in which inclusion and/or exclusion occurs for persons with disabilities
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a moderated question and answer period.
