Week 9 Discussion and Attendance Question: Accessibility
and Disability Justice
Needs to be 3 paragraphs of 5-7 sentences each
Please consider and respond to the following questions for this week’s discussion:
● What would it look like to apply a disability justice framework to your (current
or future) work with families and communities? Thinking with our materials this
week and earlier content on equitable family support, what do you think are
some differences between a disability justice approach to family support and
traditional service delivery models?
● At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a wave of creativity, accessibility, and
quick changes increased the level of access to services, community spaces, etc.
that offered proof greater accessibility is possible in many of our social systems.
Several years later, it can feel like we have lost the drive to continue to create
accessible spaces. Drawing on the Teen Vogue article, reflect on how the
pandemic has impacted your own ways of thinking about and practicing
community and accessibility. Does any part of the article resonate with your
own experience?
