Developmental Disability in Healthcare-Module 4: Accessibility Terms

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In Module 4, "Accessibility Terms," accessibility is defined as ensuring individuals with disabilities have equal access to information, interactions, and services as those without disabilities. It's about removing barriers and providing necessary accommodations for equal participation. In contrast, inclusion involves designing with accessibility in mind from the start, integrating individuals with disabilities in planning and decision-making processes. A notable concept discussed is the "curb cut effect," where accommodations for people with disabilities benefit a broader population. The module precedes Module 5, which will delve into various domains of accessibility.
