You will be working in small groups to become an “expert” on institutional oppression for people with disabilities.

Please work together to discuss the material you are learning about, ensure everyone has the same information to teach to others, and support each other with feeling confident with the material (check-ins, practice teaching each other, reviewing information)

We will begin with a small group discussion about ableist language, thoughts, and opinions.

Let’s hear from the community – we will watch 4 videos.  There is an accompanying activity to complete in OneNote.
