Dr. Sorensen's sharing her personal story, handout, and pictures. I am glad I took this course. The course had me think of other areas to acknowledge and how to provide the best actions for anyone I come across who is in this situation. I feel like the information can be applied to other types of discrimination and disabilities in someone's life, too. It also reminds me that we all need to work together and harder for everyone to have accessibilities followed through in the world.

Katie’s journey has made her a beautiful person with a keen intellect, wonderful insights, a vast amount of knowledge and experience and above all an amazing sense of humor that more than compensates for any physical disabilities. I’m jealous of her friends, family, students and anyone else in her life who gets to enjoy her delightful personality and wealth of insight. WHAT A FANTASTIC PRESENTATION BY AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING!!!!!! As an OT with a disability I will enjoy this one often.

Katie gave examples from her life experiences about disability inclusion. Some of her experiences with the general able bodied public I have done, such as helping someone in a WC before asking permission or if they even want my assistance. I also thought her comments on inclusion were on spot!

The instructor was open & honest about her experiences as a women living in society with a disability. I loved her humor & sarcasm. She spoke from the heart making herself vulnerable so her audience could begin to understand her realities, frustrations and joy. I found myself tearing up when she shared her story about finding her purpose as it is the ultimate life achievement for any human with or without a disability.

I appreciated the honesty and passion of the speaker. I think despite our efforts, we cannot truly see or understand all of the obstacles those with disabilities face and it she’s so much light on a topic that I’ve not had the opportunity to sit and talk openly about with anyone so it was great to hear it from someone who has experienced the good/bad/ugly first hand. It’s opened my eyes even more.

Such a kind way to bring attention to the stigmas in society and in health practices towards disability. It really made me think about how I talk to my patients, how I might have stigmas in my own mind, and how to pay attention to the mental health needs of my patients as more long term care over the journey of physical healing.

This was a very informative course, I never realized some of things or actions I was doing as a therapist, could be degrading to my patient with disabilities. It was such a eye opener and I made sure to tell the other therapist I work with to view the video to truly see how people with disabilities feel. I loved her honesty and sharing her struggles and feelings. Such amazing information and I wish so many other people could hear it.
