Kara Ayers, PhD
Disability can be considered in multiple contexts beyond the medical cause and its implications, and these contexts may be relevant to patients with disabilities. Learners should recognize multiple conceptual frameworks of disability and understand that disability exists within a socio-historical context.
Learning Objectives
After completing this training, attendees will:
- Acquire a conceptual framework of disability in the context of human diversity, the lifespan, wellness, injury, and social and cultural environments.
- Compare and contrast disability and disease using the Medical, Social, and World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning models and recognize their application to health care of people with disabilities.
- Describe the civil rights and independent living history of people with disabilities and their access to services. Understand how such history has both informed current thinking and improved access to care and equal rights for people with disabilities.
- Connect how social determinants of health directly impact people with disabilities (e.g., discrimination, employment, education, transportation, housing, poverty, access to healthcare).
This event will be offered in English with ASL interpretation and live transcription.
