Session Description - "At the End of Intellectual Disability: New Directions"
No one has ever seen intellectual disability: not in a petri dish, not under a microscope, not in high speed visual photography, not in the Large Hadron Collider, and certainly not in a classroom. The appearance of intellectual disability is elusive precisely because it has no existence at all other than in the agreement of those who choose to use the label. In an emergent era of full inclusion, literacy for all, Universal Design for Learning, and Assistive Technologies, we have reached the end of intellectual disability. In this presentation, we will discuss its history, social justice, and the terrain ahead.
Childcare is not provided. With the exception of infants, we request that you refrain from bringing children to this event.
