University of Hawai`i Center on Disability Studies Robert Stodden, PhD Kelly Roberts, PhD Kiriko Takahashi, M.A. So you know your content, do you know your students?

Overview  Objectives  Questions to Consider  What is Diversity?  Common Paradigms of Disability  Universal Design for Learning & Assistive Technology

Objectives  To reflect on teacher and learner diversity and think about disability as diversity.  To learn common paradigms of disability and understand how different paradigms shape one’s definition of disability.  To gain a beginning understanding of Universal Design for Learning and Assistive Technology to address diverse learners.

Questions to Consider :  Do you know the student and faculty compositions (e.g. gender, ethnicity, disability) of your college campus?  What is your definition of diversity?  How does your definition and awareness of diversity influence the way you teach? the way your students learn?  What are ways to reach to all learners?

What is Diversity?

Cushner, McClelland, & Safford (1996), Human Diversity in Education: An Integrative Approach, p. 75. The Individual School Church Community Neighborhood Peer Group Electronic Media Family Technology Workplace Print Media The Arts Sports Ethnicity/ Nationalit y Race Ability/ Disability Language Social Status Religion Sexuality Geographic Region Age Health Sex/ Gender Social Class “The Cultural Acquisition Process”

Lack of interest or engagement Returning/age Learning disabilities Sensory and physical disabilities Psychiatric disabilities Language barriers

Disability as Diversity Common Paradigms Of Disability

Paradigms of Disability  Medical Model  Social Model  Disability Culture/ Pride Model  Story Telling Model  Policy/Legal Model

A. Medical Model Disability is located: In an individual (who is broken or sick and needs fixing or curing)

B. Social Model Disability is located: In environment, which prevents people with disabilities from access to (for example): Buildings Communication Education

C. Disability Culture/Pride Model Disability is located In positive identity: People with disabilities have forged a group identity. We share a common history of oppression and a common bond of resilience. We generate art, music, literature, and other expressions of our lives and our culture, infused from our experience of disability. Most importantly, we are proud of ourselves as people with disabilities. We claim our disabilities with pride as part of our identity. We are who we are: we are people with disabilities. (Brown, Movie Stars and Sensuous Scars, 2003, pp )

Examples of Disability Culture  Boys on Wheels Boys on Wheels pZi_6WM&feature=related  Fishing is Free by Jane Field  Josh Blue

D. Storytelling Model Disability is located Everywhere: We all have so many stories to bear Cry, laugh, sing, and despair; how will our children learn and compare if we’re too timid to dare to raise the flare share that we care. From, Steven E. Brown, “Tell Your Story”

E. Policy/Legal Model Disability as Civil Rights Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act The 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act “Access is a civil right.”

Disability Law  Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act The first acknowledgment of disability discrimination Agencies receiving federal funds may not discriminate on the basis of disability, including public schools and universities. “I can’t even get to the back of the bus.”

The 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act  First comprehensive civil rights law that outlawed disability discrimination in public and private areas.  Title II: People with disabilities have the right to access and participate in public programs and services in which people without disabilities participate, including attending YOUR class.  Failure to provide accommodations is a form of discrimination.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Let’s Find Out… How do you learn best? Auditory/hearing? Visual/seeing? Kinesthetic/hands-on? How do you teach? Auditory/hearing? Visual/seeing? Kinesthetic/hand-on? WE TYPICALLY TEACH THE WAY WE LEARN BEST Research findings: WE TYPICALLY TEACH THE WAY WE LEARN BEST THINK: How might this affect student learning?

Accommodating individuals one at a time Universal Design: Barrier-free, fewer individual accommodations needed Universal Design Continuum Americans with Disabilities Act

Universal Design for Learning “[Universal Design for Learning] UDL provides a blueprint for creating flexible goals, methods, materials, and assessments that accommodate learner differences. ‘Universal’ does not imply a single optimal solution for everyone. Instead, it is meant to underscore the need for multiple approaches to meet the needs of diverse learners.” (CAST,

Principles of UDL  Multiple means of representation  Multiple means of expression  Multiple means of engagement

Examples of UDL Practices Instructional Methods Direct  Structured overview  Lecture Pause Procedure Indirect  Student lead problem solving  Case studies Experiential  Labs  Practicum  Role-playing Independent  One-on-one work with a student  Assignments  Independent studies Interactive  Debates  Group Work  Brainstorming

Instructional Materials  Power Points  Audio/visual  Texts and Notes  Group Work and Workshops

Application of Technology  Electronic Note taking  “How to” technology workshops  Online research  Electronic completion of class assignments  Electronic exams  Accessibility some students use screen readers and other softwares World Wide Web Consortium  Online materials Online discussion Online office hours Video of class lectures
