Language, Accessibility & Ableism – Jan. 24, 2024

This event is hosted by Accessibility For Ontarians With Disabilities Act Office (AODA). For more EDI events please visit: https://people.utoronto.ca/events/edi-calendar/

This session will provide participants with a foundational knowledge on how communication and language can create barriers to accessibility, and how to address these barriers. Participants will be (re-) introduced to AODA guidelines for accessible communication, language and terms that may be problematic, invited to consider how language changes over time, and to discuss how this knowledge might change interactions with all members of the University community moving forward.
