WEBINAR: Optimize Your Office - Identifying Policies and Practices that Perpetuate Ableism

When:  Oct 20, 2022 from 03:00:00 PM to 04:30:00 PM (ET)
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.
