The Language Of Disability And The Inclusion Revolution

Stereotypes, stigmas, and notions of ableism make disability a sensitive topic to discuss. 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 from the personal perspective. Learning Objectives and Takeaway Thoughts Address and talk about disability with sensitivity and empathy Recognize the fears and stigmas surrounding disability: and how best combat ableism and disability stereotypes Understand the major barriers to access for disability inclusion

In This session, Haley will unpack the nuances of navigating disclosure, advocating for ourselves and others, and building accessibility into our understanding of “inclusion.” Come prepared for lightbulb moments, and leave feeling more empowered to tackle stigma.
