SpHr 473 Perspectives on Disability
Introduces students to perspectives on disability and ableism. Students will examine definitions of disability and the history of disability, particularly as it relates to communication and clinical practice. We will investigate the influence of media on perceptions of disability and discuss how models of disability influence approaches to service provision, communication choice, intervention, and education. These issues will be examined within the framework of how ableism has evolved and is expressed within society.
