Recognizing, understanding, and professionally supporting diversity
When we encounter people, we first perceive their outward appearance and behavior; this also applies to people with disabilities. As a result, we often focus on the person's deficits. Simply adopting the perspective of an external observer is insufficient for understanding behavior and developing a competence-oriented view. Understanding also requires exploring the internal conditions of development. Furthermore, our own attitudes and beliefs about disability influence our understanding.
In this training course, we will develop a fundamental understanding of disability (ICF) as a consequence of various conditions and their impact on daily life, development, and participation. We will examine our own understanding of disability and question our own view of humanity. Using selected examples, we will develop the foundations of a holistic view of humanity as a basis for pedagogical work.
Target group: Educational professionals from school support, residential support or work support
Learning outcomes: After the seminar, you will have an overview of different types of disabilities, understand the importance of inner state, and be able to apply your knowledge in providing support.
