Further Resources for Disability & Employment:
ADA Trainer Network Module 3k Further Resources for Disability & Employment: Continuing the Journey In this module we’re going to explore how perceptions of disability have developed and evolved over time as well as the impact society and legislation have had on creating and sustaining those views of disability. Facilitators should move somewhat quickly through these slides. Do not read the notes verbatim. The notes are meant for your reference to help give you the information to provide a context for the audience. These slides are meant to provide a background of understanding how different views of disability have evolved over time. It’s important to avoid having the audience get stuck on any one view or engage in lengthy debate over whether these views are accurate. Trainer’s Name Trainer’s Title Phone Number /Website Here
