Description: Aggie Disability Awareness Workshop is an interactive 3-hour workshop designed to increase knowledge, awareness, and respect for people with disabilities among faculty at Texas A&M University. The workshop is meant to promote strong dialogue about issues and information surrounding disability. All individuals are welcome to attend but attendance should never be mandated. In doing so, Aggie Disability Awareness will promote positive, equitable, accepting attitudes towards people with disabilities on campus. The Aggie Disability Awareness Workshop will focus on (1) developing knowledge of the social and medical models of disability, the history and legislation surrounding disability, and disability etiquette and person-first language, (2) acquaint faculty to the principles of Universal Design for Instruction, and (3) discuss how to best work with and support individuals with disabilities.
