This presentation will examine the importance of changing how we perceive disability, shifting from the medical model to the socio-political model of disability. This new model is the foundation for incorporating Universal Design (UD). MSU’s Disability Services was recently selected to participate in a three-year grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education called Project ShIFT (Shaping Inclusion through Foundational Transformation). We will explore the opportunities of this grant; with the purpose of how UD can be applied to teaching to enhance the learning of all students.
Event is free!
Open to current students, faculty and staff.
Registration is not required.
The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning in collaboration with the Office of Disability Services will sponsor a book series on this topic during the Spring Semester 2010.
