Program Description:
Ableist thoughts, behaviors, and values lead to bias, prejudice, and discrimination. Because disability is often excluded as a dimension of diversity, disability and ableism are less understood than other minoritized groups/issues. By understanding what ableism looks like in mental health treatment, therapists and clinicians can begin working to increase overall treatment access for disabled clients. Additionally, with a better understanding of their own implicit and explicit biases about disability, therapists and clinicians can improve their clinical practice with disabled clients and colleagues.
Level of Instruction:
Introductory
Learning Objectives:
-
Describe three models of disability.
-
Identify ableism biases, both implicit and explicit.
-
Analyze disability as an identity.
-
Assess forms of ableism in current psychological practices.
