Description:

In this course we will discuss the Social Model of Disability, explore eight signs of a respectful and empathetic therapist from the Therapist Neurodiversity Collective’s resource list, and present a case study. The case study will provide participants with opportunities to apply the eight principles discussed and reflect on how this may carry over into their work as an occupational therapy practitioner.   

Course Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• describe the social model of disability
