Although people with disabilities comprise the largest minority group in the United States, stigma and ableism continue to limit opportunities for disabled people to fully contribute to and be successful in the STEM ecosystem.

Please join us for a transformational set of conversations on Disrupting Ableism and Advancing STEM<https://nationalacademies.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5dc4a6f3f17fd11adf3be4912&id=bf0fb7e5ac&e=2bfeeef996>. The series of events will run from June 5-16, 2023. We will explore issues related to the accessibility and inclusivity of STEM workplaces for persons with disabilities.

All events will include an ASL interpreter and CART interpretation. Any slides or electronic documents that are provided will be shared online. Requests for additional accommodations can be indicated on the registration form here<https://nationalacademies.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5dc4a6f3f17fd11adf3be4912&id=b26594fa78&e=2bfeeef996>.

This session will focus on the important role of education in preparing students with disabilities as they enter the STEM ecosystem. Discussions will focus on the need to challenge assumptions about who can learn and succeed in STEM and the need to make direct changes to policies and practices to facilitate positive educational experiences for students. Examples will include asset based approaches to learning in classrooms, laboratories, online, and in the field.

This session will focus on the need to decrease bias and know down barriers to facilitate full participation of people with disabilities in the STEM workforce. Discussions will focus on the need to critically examine environments (both physical and otherwise) to find the structures and policies and attitudes that limit participation. Tools for examining barriers will be presented and strategies for overcoming barriers will also be shared. In addition, this wrap up session for the series will conclude with remarks from the planning committee members on what they have learned from the process, the sessions, and the participants that can inform future work to better include people with disabilities in the STEM workforce.
