BHHS 104 — Human Disability
This course offers an interdisciplinary overview of disability as a critical dimension of diversity in human services. Students will examine the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities through historical, psychological, social, and legal lenses. Emphasis is placed on understanding disability not as dysfunction, but as difference, with a focus on empowerment, equity, and inclusion. Students will explore a wide range of disability populations, including those with physical, sensory, developmental, cognitive, and psychiatric disabilities, and will learn to identify appropriate supports, services, and community-based resources.
