Understanding the Moral View of Disability
The oldest stereotypes of disability are the moral ones. The moral viewpoint sees people with disabilities as morally different from others; as either sinners or saints, frightening or innocent. For thousands of years, attitudes of the moral view have fostered segregation, ridicule, and violence toward people with disabilities.
In this program participants explore the history and continuing influence of this moral viewpoint. Exercises help participants name and respond to these stereotypes in a variety of situations. Participants build skills to move beyond moral labels and treat each other with dignity.
Part 1 of a three-part training series where participants learn to recognize and respond to the competing views of disability within society.
