In this session, we will look at different models of disability and examine how they impact our approaches to and understanding of accessibility. We will spent time developing a lexicon, or language, of disability and accessibility. The session will provide an opportunity to reflect on the idea of praxis (defined here as values-informed practice) and work towards laying a foundation for our own praxis of accessibility. The session will be a combination of theory, discussion, and reflection. It is appropriate both for folks new to conversations of accessibility and folks who have an established accessibility practice as everyone will be invited to start from where they are.
