People with disabilities represent the world’s largest minority, and the only minority group that any of us can become a member of at any time. And yet they still experience barriers, prejudice, and bias on a daily basis.

Our workshop challenges all to more fully address ableist notions of how we think about, and label, our bodies, minds, and senses.

Our Disability Awareness workshops gives you the tools to understand what disability is, the types of disability, the current language of disability, what ableism is, how you can actively work to fight against it, and tips for disabled people and allies alike to better ensure equity in all that you do.

We deliver introduction workshops as well as more advanced workshops. We are able to customize our workshops for your needs. We have done Disability Awareness workshops specific to: education, employment, events, customer service, disability justice, and more.

Discussion includes:

• Disability definition
• Disability types
• Who sets the parameters of professionalism
• Access is not a fragmented need
• Types and examples of ableism
• Current terminology of disability
• How to be less ableist with your word choices
• Person first versus identity first language
• Ways to be an ally to disabled people
