Voices of Diversity: Ability & Disability Program Transcript KATHY PURNELL: Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Voices of Diversity, and the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) for<\/p>\n
discussion today is Ability and Disability. And we have two amazing people who are<\/p>\n
going to join us for this conversation, and I’m just going to turn this over and let them<\/p>\n
briefly tell us who they are, we’ll start with Tami.<\/p>\n
TAMI FRYE: Hi, I’m Dr. Tammy Frye. I’m a core faculty member with the School of<\/p>\n
Social Work, and I’ve been with Walden for seven years now.<\/p>\n
GINA BOWLIN: My name is Dr. Gina Bowlin. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and I<\/p>\n
work full time in a health care setting, and I’m a contributing faculty member for Walden.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: My first question that I’m going to pose to Tami first is– the<\/p>\n
discomfort around ability and disability can often be difficult for some to discuss or even<\/p>\n
understand. Why is this, and why is this not as difficult for others?<\/p>\n
TAMI FRYE: I think from the time we’re very young, we’re taught when we see someone<\/p>\n
with a disability, that we look the other direction. We don’t look too long at someone<\/p>\n
that’s different because we could be thought of as staring at someone, and we don’t do<\/p>\n
that, we look away. We don’t want them to be made uncomfortable, so we don’t look at<\/p>\n
them. And therefore, we almost don’t see them, and that carries over, whether it’s into<\/p>\n
the field of social work or any other area. And it’s too easy then to make them invisible,<\/p>\n
and we can just make them invisible and not give them attention. Then when they need<\/p>\n
help in a grocery store, or when they need help opening a door, or when they just need<\/p>\n
to be seen–<\/p>\n
I myself found that this was the case when I acquired a disability. I found myself feeling<\/p>\n
differently than I was when I was just an able-bodied person. I suddenly found myself<\/p>\n
needing help reaching for the upper level items at a grocery store, or getting in a door<\/p>\n
that didn’t open as easily. And people would just walk right on by, and it made a<\/p>\n
difference because people were not comfortable helping or asking if I needed help. And<\/p>\n
it goes back to being a young child, and we teach our children those kinds of things.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: Gina, could you respond to the question, why is it some find this<\/p>\n
easy or difficult to discuss? And was there a defining moment or personal story, as Tami<\/p>\n
just explained for herself, that you would like to share very briefly with us?<\/p>\n
Voices of Diversity: Ability & Disability<\/p>\n
\u00a9 2021 Walden University, LLC 2<\/p>\n
GINA BOWLIN: I think along the lines with what Tami said, we may be taught to<\/p>\n
respond to disability in a certain way. But I think, innately as humans, we recognize<\/p>\n
difference and automatically think of it as something challenging to understand if it’s<\/p>\n
different than what we know and what we experience. That said, I think that some<\/p>\n
people are more comfortable embracing what’s different, or they at least have a heart<\/p>\n
that makes them want to bridge that gap. So I tend to think that those people are social<\/p>\n
workers, nurses, others in the helping professions, that really enjoy helping bridge that<\/p>\n
gap.<\/p>\n
I do think, though, that one challenge we face is that many of the accommodations that<\/p>\n
are created for disability are created by able-bodied people. And we learned that when I<\/p>\n
had a 15-year-old daughter who was suddenly in a wheelchair and ended up in a<\/p>\n
wheelchair for a period of about three years. And she learned, and we learned<\/p>\n
alongside her, that just because something is accessible does not necessarily mean it’s<\/p>\n
comfortable or easy.<\/p>\n
For example, you can have an accessible bathroom, but the sink could still be out of<\/p>\n
reach. Yes it might meet regs, but she may not be able to wash her hands in the sink.<\/p>\n
And so that was a real eye-opener for us as parents when we realized that most of the<\/p>\n
accommodations out there are designed by people not with those disabilities, but with<\/p>\n
able-bodies.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: So my next question focuses a little bit on the history– there is<\/p>\n
some historical and current context associated with the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) that we’re discussing– and<\/p>\n
how does that resonate with you, as social work professionals, and why?<\/p>\n
GINA BOWLIN: I would say that I am thankful that we now have better accommodations<\/p>\n
for those who need them than we used to have. I believe that historically, those with<\/p>\n
disability or in need of accommodations were viewed as people to be set aside in<\/p>\n
society. And I believe that now we have more accommodations than ever. Even if<\/p>\n
they’re not perfect yet, we’re moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n
TAMI FRYE: Some would say it’s an evolutionary thing too. I mean, it goes way back to<\/p>\n
when they were warehoused and taken away from the general population because for<\/p>\n
whatever reason, and now at least things are done in school systems and among the<\/p>\n
working people and that sort of thing to get those of us with different abilities out in the<\/p>\n
Voices of Diversity: Ability & Disability<\/p>\n
\u00a9 2021 Walden University, LLC 3<\/p>\n
general population a little more than it used to be. Though like Gina said, there’s still a<\/p>\n
long way to go.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: What are some helpful strategies to encourage culturally responsive<\/p>\n
practice with individuals who live with varying levels of abilities and\/or disabilities?<\/p>\n
TAMI FRYE: Don’t be afraid to talk about it. By all means, open the conversation with a<\/p>\n
client that you may have with a disability or different ability. Talk about it, be– have an<\/p>\n
open discussion about it. Find out what ways you can help; what way the client may<\/p>\n
need your help; what kind of suggestions; how can I make you comfortable when you’re<\/p>\n
here; how can I help you, whether it’s finding employment, or help you with school, or<\/p>\n
whatever to find out what needs– what the needs are.<\/p>\n
GINA BOWLIN: I would just add to what Tami said, that I think education is critical, both<\/p>\n
for family members and for community members who work with folks that have<\/p>\n
disabilities. Just helping them understand that they need to meet the client where they<\/p>\n
are, and also helping family members understand the advocacy that they can engage in<\/p>\n
to advocate for their loved one.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: I have a son who’s now in college– he’s a junior in college– and I’ve<\/p>\n
had to really work with him and the institution to think about ways to provide culturally<\/p>\n
responsive teaching and learning. What are your thoughts about helping educators, not<\/p>\n
just parents? What kind of resources do you think that schools of social work can<\/p>\n
benefit from in strengthening cross-cultural understanding with this population?<\/p>\n
GINA BOWLIN: That’s a bit of a challenging question. Just based on my own<\/p>\n
experiences, and maybe it’s related to the culture in which I reside, we’ve really faced a<\/p>\n
lot of challenges advocating for folks with regard to their disabilities. And it’s almost like<\/p>\n
it’s been fighting a little bit of an uphill battle. So as far as better preparing helpers, I<\/p>\n
definitely think we can do that– but I’m not sure– I’m not sure what the answer is.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: As we know, developing cultural competence is somewhere you<\/p>\n
don’t get overnight. It’s a journey.<\/p>\n
GINA BOWLIN: Can I add a brief comment there? I feel like there’s a difference<\/p>\n
between saying that you provide accommodations– and I think that our education<\/p>\n
system– K-12, college level– is really great at saying that they provide the<\/p>\n
accommodations. But sometimes in practice, families and clients end up real– like<\/p>\n
Voices of Diversity: Ability & Disability<\/p>\n
\u00a9 2021 Walden University, LLC 4<\/p>\n
realizing conflict when they approach for those accommodations. So I think there needs<\/p>\n
to be, along with that education, not just that we do it, but we do it well. And this is why<\/p>\n
it’s important that we do it and that we engage with folks that need it.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: As we think about today’s conversation and the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service), what would<\/p>\n
you like students to think about or take away from this discussion? And what would you<\/p>\n
want them to know, and why?<\/p>\n
TAMI FRYE: That this is not an optional part of social work, that this is a part of social<\/p>\n
work that’s every bit as critical for them to train in and be knowledgeable about, as<\/p>\n
counseling skills, as theories, as anything else they’re going to learn about, and it’s<\/p>\n
something that is important. It’s not something that they may or may not learn about,<\/p>\n
that it’s something that’s really urgently important for them to know about before they<\/p>\n
graduate.<\/p>\n
GINA BOWLIN: I would say first, not to fear what is different, and also, to not be afraid<\/p>\n
to engage someone from a different culture with needs because what they’re looking for<\/p>\n
is for their needs to be met. So not approaching that with fear, and then the next thing<\/p>\n
would be being passionate about advocacy because sometimes that’s what our clients<\/p>\n
need most.<\/p>\n
KATHY PURNELL: Thank you. I think that’s a good place to end our segment on ability<\/p>\n
and disability. Thank you, Gina. Thank you, Tami.: Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Voices of Diversity, and the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) for<\/p>\n
