Disability Inclusion Workshops

The Centre for Independent Living in Toronto’s (CILT) project training, Inclusion of Disability Equity and Access (IDE+A) is proud to present customizable disability inclusion workshops for your organization. 

Foundations of Disability Inclusion

This two-hour dynamic workshop is for groups of 10-50 people. This workshop includes storytelling, small group discussions and interactive polls. 

Disability Inclusion 101 

Disability Inclusion 101 can be 1-2 hours and be a lecture style webinar that can accommodate hundreds of attendees or a workshop for smaller groups that includes small group discussions. Facilitated by disabled people, this primer in foundational disability inclusion will cover concepts such as the history of disability rights and independent living, types of ableism and the models of disability. This learning includes a combination of presentation and interactive polls.   

Disability Inclusion Lunch and Learn Series  

2 to 4 – lunch and learn sessions. These are mini versions of our longer presentations.  

Access as Justice 101 

Access as Justice can be 1-2 hours and be a lecture style webinar that can accommodate hundreds of attendees or a workshop for smaller groups that includes small group discussions. Facilitated by disabled people, this learning will focus on taking the fundamentals such as the models of disability and Disability Justice and applying them. Together we will explore ways to proactively practice access and inclusion to dismantle ableism.

About 

These workshops are aimed at organizations looking to gain a deeper understanding of disability inclusion and change attitudes around ableism and access.  

Co-facilitated by disabled and Deaf educators and CILT staff to cover objectives like:  

  1. Recognize disability as part of human diversity   
  2. Understand Independent Living as a fundamental shift in society  
  3. Develop a common understanding of disability frameworks including disability justice   
  4. Explore ways to actively practice access and inclusion to dismantle ableism  

It is NOT about checking boxes for AODA compliance. 

It IS about moving beyond standard EDI practices and integrating disability and accessibility culture into your organization.   

Understanding your organization’s disability inclusion and access goals are also integral to adapting and delivering a highly effective and engaging workshop!
