  6. Learning Outcomes Cont’d • Recognize the range of how others experience ableism • Discuss ways to be an ally to people who are differently abled

  7. Ableism • Also known as Disability Oppression • A pervasive system of discrimination and exclusion of people who are differently abled>>Examples of these are visible and invisible: Physical, Mental, Emotional differences

  8. Temporarily Able Bodied (TAB) • Refers to people who are not differently abled, but recognizes that most of us may become differently abled at some point in our lives

  9. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) • A federal law passed in 1990 that requires public institutions to provide access to people who are differently abled

  10. Microaggression • Brief, everyday exchanges that send denigrating messages to certain individuals because of their group membership

  11. Ally • An ally is typically a member of advantaged social groups who uses social power to take a stand against social injustice directed at targeted groups. • An ally works to be an agent of social change rather than an agent of oppression.

  12. Activity: Image Theater • Groups of 3-5 • Discuss with your group an event or situation around ableism that you will focus on. • Create a “talking picture” with your group, in which each person poses as they are able, to create a small scene that relates the situation you chose.

  13. Activity Cont’d • In addition to the pose you choose, each person will create one word or phrase that describes how their character is feeling • A facilitator will tap on each person’s shoulder (one at a time), and the person who is being tapped will repeat their word or phrase Note: if you are uncomfortable being touched please let one of us know once you are in your small group

  14. Activity Example • In awareness of those with learning differences, Sabrina, Kalina, and Josh will provide a visual example of what this activity may look like.

  15. Activity Discussion • What feelings came up during this activity? • What are some visible and invisible forms of ableism? How were these represented in your images? • How have you been affected by or participated in ableism in your life?

  16. Discussion Cont’d • What are some statements made towards people who are differently abled that can be interpreted as microaggressions? • What are some ways you can be an ally to people who are differently abled in your daily life and communities?
