Diversity, Inclusion and Universal Design | Teddi Doupe | TEDxUAlberta

In a world where diversity is often considered from the lense of race and/or sexual orientation, Teddi provides an equally important lense of accessibility that we may often overlook. Since her teens, Theresa (Teddi) Doupe has worked to foster diversity and inclusion, to use strengths as a basis for development and learning, and to reframe disability management into accessibility management. Teddi's ties to UofA include a BEd (Special Education), teaching with the Fresh Start program, and 20+ years in accessibility services. Her work with the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services and Disability Service Providers in Post-secondary Education, Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta, UofA Employment Equity Advisory Committee and many others have led her to become a proponent of social models of disability, universal design as a social justice and inclusion tool, and diversity as a building block. She co-authored, with Dr. M. Samuels, the "Alberta Guidelines for Documentation, Assessment, and Services for Students with Learning Difficulties in Post-Secondary Studies" and received the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
