Topic: The Language of Disability and the Inclusion Revolution
Stereotypes, stigmas, and notions of ableism make disability a sensitive topic to discuss among ourselves, with families, and with disabled people. Nuances in the language surrounding disabilities make the discussion even more difficult for non-disabled friends, colleagues, and community members to join. Too often, those best equipped to teach the language of disability — people with disabilities themselves — are silenced and unheard, rather than empowered to lead the conversation on disability inclusion in society. As part of this session, the audience is invited to join the ‘Inclusion Revolution’ to build a bridge between people with and without disabilities by facilitating effective, real conversation in a meaningful and productive way. Attendees will enjoy a candid, no fluff conversation about disability, allyship, and removal of barriers to access from the personal perspective.
