SUMMARY:Ableism and Implicit Bias
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of the Paving the Way to Self Determination program. \nFor family/guardians \nAbleism is the discrimination against people with disabilities based on the belief that “typical” abilities are superior. To address ableism\, we must start by acknowledging we all have unconscious bias. These unconscious attitudes and stereotypes impact our understanding\, actions\, and decisions. This session will define implicit bias\, help participants be more aware of their own bias\, and explore strategies to challenge our unconscious beliefs. (Presented by Michigan Alliance for Families.) \nChoose from the following dates/times: \n\nTuesday\, March 7th: 6:30 – 7:30pm — (Registration is now closed.)\nThursday\, May 18th: 6:30 – 7:30pm\n\nTo learn more about the Paving the Way to Self Determination program\, including all of the trainings offered\, visit Paving the Way to Self Determination. The registration form for all events is available at the bottom of the page. \nRegister:\n\n\nError: Contact form not found.
