The Odyssey conference committee is thrilled to share information about our first 2024 Odyssey webinar, “From Either/Or to Both/And: When Disability and Aging Intersect,” developed and delivered by Anne Phibbs, PhD, of Strategic Diversity Initiatives (SDI).
Description
This webinar focuses on the intersection of disability and aging. We often talk about disability as a feature of aging. People may face increased physical and cognitive barriers as they age. While this is true, it does not represent the entire intersection of disabilities and aging. Questions to ask include:
- What is it like to grow older as someone who has lived with a disability for all or most of their life?
- As people with disabilities age, how do the barriers they face compound?
- How does ableism show up in aging services?
- How does ageism show up in disability services?
In this thoughtful and practical panel discussion, community members, advocates and activists who live at the intersection of disability and aging will share their insights and experiences. The panelists will recommend practical ways to build knowledge and skills to serve the many people who live at the intersection of disability and aging.
