Learning Outcomes
Your words matter! Students with disabilities make up a significant portion of the population on any college campus. Most do not declare themselves as students with disabilities for many reasons. In this presentation, we will specifically highlight the stigma that can be perpetuated by even the most well-meaning individual and can cause reluctance in seeking support. As a part of the UVU community, it’s important to understand that the use of inclusive language makes a vast difference in a student’s choice to declare themselves as a student with a disability and get needed support. In this session, we will explore what inclusive language means in the world of disability, review appropriate language and discuss how incorporating small changes can make a world of difference to students with disabilities.
Program Schedule
This course is 90 minutes (about 1 and a half hours) long. Each section will be either in person at the UVU Orem campus or online at different times. Check your registration to make sure the class you register for is in person or online.
