Public Health in Action: Perceptions of Disability and the Use of Person-First Language

Disability is a socially constructed concept that has evolved over the past few centuries. Not all within the large, diverse disability community agree on what terms are the most appropriate or what practices are the best. However, there is a general consensus around the promotion of person-first language and environmental, functional, and social - political frameworks of disability. Attend the inaugural Public Health in Action Workshop to learn about the evolution of disability frameworks and the use of person-first language. The engaging workshop will include interactive exercises and a short presentation from Thomas Foley, the founding organizer of the ADA Amplified Symposium Series which featured Judith Heumann during its inaugural symposium.
