This gave me great perspective on what I as someone who works with people with disabilities need to improve on, both in advocating for accessibility for them and how to empower them to advocate for theirselves without being assumptive of their abilities. Great course that gives a refreshment on "why" we do what we do!

In my 15 years of being an SLP, this was, by far, one of the best CEU courses I've ever attended. The instructor's presentation delivery was engaging, informative and even entertaining. She is a wealth of knowledge and I feel that I will use the information she presented to be more aware of the accessibility of places I go and to be a better advocate for those who have disabilities. I have a feeling I will voluntarily retake this course to serve as a refresher throughout my career.

The real world examples made me reflect on how I have handled myself in similar situations. We are often in Chapel Hill for sporting events and have had to plan for some creative drop off pick ups for members of our party who have mobility issues. That campus is so hilly and lots of older building. Many times I have commented it has to be tricky to navigate using a cane, rolling walker or wheelchair. I used to get frustrated pushing my kids in a stroller.

This presentation is an incredible way to see how people living with disabilities may feel and experience parts of their life. It helps you to see situations through a different lens that will, I believe, positively affect working as a therapist.

I really enjoyed hearing from the perspective of a person with disability who also happens to be in healthcare which provided a unique experience. Provided me with a lot of food for thought. My only suggestion would be to slow down just a hair on rate of speech. I was really trying to process all the information.

Loved this presenter (and her humor) and how she informed us about inclusion practices. I loved how she shared her life experiences, accomplishments, hardships, and all the feelings around it. Listening to a person's life story as they tie it to learning concepts is invaluable. I'm so glad I got to hear her story and will take it with me while working in healthcare settings, especially when it comes to advocating for individuals with disabilities.

Hearing and seeing things from presenter's perspective as a person with a disability was the best way to teach this course. The studies also provided concrete evidence of areas where disability inclusion was lacking. As the parent of a disabled child, I also picked up a few ideas for accessibility in the home as our child gets older, and I am making it a priority to learn the laws more in depth in order to be a better advocate for my child and others with disabilities.

This course provided a lot of helpful information about working with people with disabilities, especially ways to ensure we are respecting them as humans and not treating them as if they are lesser than those with disabilities. While it comes from a good place, and I’m sure no one means to offend or hurt them, it makes a lot of sense why that population is hurt by the way we act around them or talk to them.

So insightful! Lots of great information and it was so helpful to hear from someone with a disability....her perspective. Kathryn IS an inspiration in so many ways. Her many accomplishments and desire to serve others, her drive to do great things despite the difficult challenges she faces, and her outlook on life/humor. I will, as a provider, be more aware of ADA requirements when I'm either providing services to clients or out in the general community.
