In this workshop, you'll learn about ableism, which is the discrimination against people with disabilities, based on the assumption that the disabled community is ‘less than’ their non-disabled peers and often includes stereotypes and generalizations. This training will increase your awareness of ableist mindsets, perceptions, and behaviors and discuss steps you can take to create a more disability-inclusive environment, including replacing ableist microaggressions with disability-inclusive microaffirmations.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided. If you need additional accommodations to participate in this webinar, please email the ADA Coordinator at ADAcoordinator@umich.edu.
