Be Part of the Solution: Challenge Everyday Misconceptions About Disability
Aren’t you tired of the old attitudes about disability? Don’t you hate when a person with a disability is treated as an eternal child, a menace to society, an object of pity, or a “patient” needing to be cured? This workshop turns these attitudes inside out!
Participants watch a DVD showing skits written and performed by people with and without disabilities. Then they talk about their own experiences with negative attitudes, and learn some new skills to speak out and change things for the better.
This workshop draws on YOUR life experiences, thoughts, and dreams. Come ready to participate. Debunk old ways of thinking. Challenge common stereotypes. Be part of the solution.
