WHTT Part 13: Disability as a Diversity Variable: What Every Psychologist Should Know (8/27/2024)
This webinar will explore the diversity model of disability and how although disability is included in most definitions of diversity, it is rarely fully integrated into diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Drs. Kara Ayers and Erin Andrews will discuss contemporary trends in disability language and introduce the concept of disability culture. Pertinent attitudes that affect the lived experience of disabled people will be explored.
Drs. Ayers and Andrews will offer strategies for practitioners in the field to recognize and counteract ableism and highlight the role of psychology in promoting equity and reducing discrimination in healthcare. By understanding the rights of disabled individuals and exploring resources and support mechanisms, psychologists can become pivotal advocates in dismantling these barriers.
The presentation will underscore the importance of inclusive policies and practices that address the specific needs of disabled people. Clinically relevant suggestions for culturally competent care for persons with disabilities will be offered.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the importance of conceptualizing disability as a diversity variable.
- Define ableism and describe three examples as experienced by disabled people.
- Develop strategies for psychologists to advocate for and support disabled people in healthcare environments and community-based settings.
