Incorporating disability justice frameworks into interdisciplinary and OT curricula will...

Expand OT’s role in business institutions and organizations.​

Increase OT research on systemic factors of disability participation.​

Improve OTPs in leading and educating others in advocacy for disability participation.​

Having the opportunity to participate in and contribute to societal roles and relationships are human rights. For people with disabilities, these rights have been delayed, diminished, or dismissed all together. I plan to lead and teach OTs and interdisciplinary partners in being champions for inclusion and partners for participation for all.

I listen and educate, so that others can lead and be heard.

Everybody Works: Analyzing and Enhancing Disability Inclusion in the Workplace

# data[].attributes.body
Everybody Works is a theory-driven, education-based solution for closing the knowledge to practice gap by equipping business students with skills for analyzing and implementing disability inclusion and accommodation practices in the workplace.

This course aims to bridge education, policy, and practice for disability participation by providing learners with 1) historical and political perspectives of disability, 2) knowledge of the impact on work participation, and 3) skills for analyzing and addressing work participation barriers to support their disabled employees, consumers, and peers.

Students will examine and address real-world examples of physical and social accessibility and inclusion in the workplace from both employee and consumer perspectives. Using a Critical Disability Theory framework, students will create disability inclusion solutions and communicate their value to stakeholders. This course will uniquely prepare students to be leaders in innovation and inclusion in their future workplace.

While participating in this course, students will encounter asynchronous multi-media resources, engage in a synchronous live class, and complete asynchronous learning assessments to practice and apply their knowledge and skills.
