Event Details
The Deaf community has always had a complicated relationship with the label and idea of being disabled or having a disability. There are those who accept the label and there are those who refuse to, and this workshop will discuss why we have such polarizing views. To those who think so, why is such a label unacceptable? The main focus of this lecture will be on why the label of disability has had such a negative impact on the deaf community.
Educational Objectives:
Participants will:
1. Articulate more than one reason the label “disabled” has had the negative impact on the Deaf community that it has through history.
2. Develop advocacy tools for the Deaf community around this label.
