Scheduled Events | Exploring the Issue of Disability | | 10/22/2014 |
| Join presenter Sara Kersten, a Ph.D. Student at Ohio State University, as she discusses "Underestimating Ability: Exploring the Issue of Disability." As she says, "As a woman with a disability I've worked hard against what society thinks I should and should not be able to do. Being placed between the deaf and the hearing world frequently brings up questions of belonging, being an overcomer, and the pressure to prove myself. I want to share a bit of my experience to give you a deeper glimpse inside a different story. For teachers and parents it is easy to see your students as what they can and cannot do. Commonly, the issues your students with disability face have to do more with their "impairment" - it goes beyond that. It's the sense of, the belonging, the difference. How can you as future educators address those needs of your students, those with a disability or not? Having the unique perspective of being both a student and a teacher, I understand the dilemma this issue can present and hope to bring up discussion surround it." This event is free and open to everyone. 2 - 3:30 p.m . In the LVC Spangler Hall. |
