IDE+A in Healthcare Testimonials

What did people learn:

This was an excellent and educational presentation! It is very reflective of my educational, personal, and professional experiences. I learned more about institutional, interpersonal, and internalized barriers. I also liked hearing about the new models of disability. Thank you!

As an older Black woman with a non-evident disability, I appreciated the representation of the workshop leaders.

I learned a lot about how people would react to our work and how a lot of them would not even ask for help because they would feel like a burden. It made me think of ways to find solutions or make our deliverables more accessible to more people.

[I learned] many different ways that we can think about accessibility. My Physio mind was focused on physical accessibility but there’s so much more to it than that.

I appreciated the expertise and the varied representation of the co-presenters. I also liked the examples given/discussed. They were quite applicable and brought to life some of the issues people living with disabilities face regularly in a way that I think just facts and information can’t.

I am hoping that you will be able to offer additional trainings. It was very well done.

The presentations were really well done and informative.

It was really powerful to hear from people with experiences, and especially to hear about how culture and other identities affect accessibility.

The content of this workshop is very powerful.

This project feels genuinely impactful and needed. It goes beyond compliance and really challenges health-care providers to think differently about disability—not as a checklist, but as a lived experience that should shape how care is designed and delivered. The facilitators brought honesty, humour, and compassion to some difficult conversations, which made the learning feel both accessible and grounded.
