( HS Olkin 150875 2026) Ableism and Disability Prejudice Clinical Tools to Help Clients Navigate Microaggressions
Tracking # 20-1395473
Course overview
Therapy operates within a broader culture shaped by ableism And clinicians receive little guidance on how to help clients with disabilities and chronic conditions navigate the microaggressions they face Or on how to keep disability bias from entering the therapy room itself. Too often, disability simply goes unaddressed in treatment. In this session, Dr. Rhoda Olkin developer of disability-affirmative therapy and author of What Psychotherapists Should Know about Disability will give you a practical framework for supporting clients with disabilities and chronic conditions.
