Lesson 1: Disability & Accommodations
Disability is a complex and diverse topic, encompassing a wide range of physical, sensory, cognitive, and mental impairments. It's important to recognize that disability is not a personal failing but often a result of societal barriers and a lack of understanding. Accommodations are essential tools that can help level the playing field for individuals with disabilities, enabling them to participate fully in all aspects of life, including education, employment, and social activities.
