Three “P”s • People with Disabilities are just that – People. Engage with the person and not the disability • Get curious about the Potential held by the Person with a Disability. To do this you must put aside Legacy Perspectives. • Co-create Possibilities for how you will work together • Make accommodation an “of course” at Goddard.
Three “P”s • Meet People • Recognize Potential • Co-Create Possibility Put people first!
Meet People • See the person • Set Legacy Perspectives aside • Bring respect and curiosity • Connect with the person as an individual rather than a member of any particular group
Recognize potential • Potential = What people can accomplish when they can fully use their power • What skills, abilities, qualities does this person offer? • Are Legacy Perspectives clouding my perceptions of this person’s potential?
Co-Create possibility • Be curious about each other’s needs • Be creative together to identify accommodations • Tools • Agreements • Solutions
Make accommodations an “Of Course” in the workplace… …primary workplace, meetings, trainings, social events
