This online ethics course prepares social workers to go a step deeper into DE&I, specifically as it relates to the ethics of inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities. Learn the two predominant models of disability and identify ableism, both on a micro level as well as a macro level of discrimination. Identify ethical considerations surrounding unconscious bias towards disabled individuals and problematic language related to it, as well as other ethical challenges related to less visible disabilities and disclosure. Engages social workers in critical ethical awareness of disability inclusion principles, anti-ableist language, and accessibility in physical spaces as well as in technology.
