Thank you so much for inviting us again .
We really enjoy partnering with you and the ArtCenter community! [alt text: slides featuring points from the Student Disability and Accessibility Awareness and Advocacy Workshop]
Repost from
•
Last month ArtCenter DEI hosted a Disability and Accessibility Awareness and Advocacy Workshop for students, led by community partners, facilitators Drs. Kimberly Austin and Sofia Vergara.
This student-centered conversation focused on Disability and Accessibility in educational and workplace settings. Participants were presented strategies on how to be more aware of those who may have disabilities, how to talk about their own disabilities with others, how to advocate for their own accessibility needs and how to discuss disability and accessibility respectfully and professionally with everyone.
Our student Creativist created these wonderful slides to share with our community a short summary and key points of the workshop! ✨
If you are interested in learning more or attending our next Disability and Accessibility Awareness and Advocacy Workshop, please reach out to us 📧 [email protected]
