\n\tOn Thursday January 30th, students squeezed into the IDEA Project in UW Bothell\u2019s UW1 to take part in the Dine and Dialogue on ableism. With their lunch in hand, these students engaged in discussion about ableism with people of all different backgrounds and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\u201cAbleism is a system that only benefits abled bodied and neuro-typical people,\u201d says Alejandra Perez, who is a Social Justice Organizer on campus at UW Bothell. \u201cWe want people to know that ableism exists in this world. Those who have able-bodied privileges need to be cautious about the action and language that are used within their everyday setting. In doing this, we can prevent ourselves from becoming ablest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tUW Bothell is committed to providing access, equal opportunity, and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs, activities, education and employment for individuals with disabilities. How can the campus community help? Perez says prevention of ableism is all about the awareness of others. She says simple steps to fighting ableism include: leaving disabled parking, elevator and accessible restroom stalls available to those who need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t think we can ever fully prevent ableism because people will always bring in their own perceptions and judgments,\u201d says Rosa Lundborg, UW Bothell Manager of the Office of Special Services and Disability Support. \u201cHowever, I do believe that UW Bothell consistently puts effort into engaging in processes that try and change those perceptions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
