This course will provide an introduction to how the lives of people with disabilities are framed by society through research, policy, and practice. Areas of focus include: 1) How disability is conceptualized by society historically and in policy and practice today; 2) Current research on specific disabilities aimed at maximizing opportunities and abilities; 3) Health care access and disparities; and 4) Use of evidence based practices in providing services and supports. Course instructors offer perspectives from a variety of professions and leadership positions (i.e., medicine, law, public health, social work, family studies, disability studies, education, psychology, administration, advocacy). Students will bring perspectives from their respective fields of study. Students will also have an opportunity to work with a Sonoran UCEDD faculty or staff on a project in the disability field and to be part of the UCEDD sponsored interdisciplinary trainee program.
