| COURSE OFFERINGS Universal Language: It’s All in How You Say It |
In this humorous and provocative training, Dr. Thomas
Pomeranz discusses the importance of using Universal
Language. Tom heightens the participant’s sensitivities to the
impact of language in promoting respectful relationships. The
evolution of slang references that devalue people is discussed.
Numerous examples of insensitive language are presented with
the Universal Language alternative.
Tom emphasizes that the words and language that we use are a
reflection of our belief system and it is upon these beliefs that
we base our actions. Thus Tom helps the participants gain a
new insight into their inner beliefs about people with disabilities
by increasing their awareness of the words they use.
Throughout the session, Tom provides attendees with strategies
to master Universal Language as well as sensitively supporting
others who struggle in using words of respect. It is the
outcome of this session “that the words and language we use in
talking about our friends - the words and language they use in
talking about us”, will serve as the standard in how we speak to
and about people with disabilities –
“It’s all in how you say it.”
