Abstract:
|
In today's evolving landscape of higher education and advising, it's essential to focus on strength-based approaches, especially when working with students with disabilities. Join us for an insightful session that delves into the critical aspects of effectively advising this population. We'll begin by exploring various disability models and their relevance to the students we support. These models will help us understand and address their accessibility needs. Our discussion will also cover developmental theories specific to students with disabilities, providing a comprehensive view of their experiences. We'll emphasize the importance of allowing students with disabilities to define their own identities. We'll also examine how disability intersects with other identities, enriching our understanding and approach. By the end of this session, you will gain valuable insights and practical strategies to better support and empower students with disabilities. |
