Students will be introduced to health and wellness in the context of disability using a holistic framework through the lens of diversity and inclusion. There will be a focus on wellness guided by the belief that health is more than the absence of disease. Current perspectives of the many dimensions of well-being will be explored to support the personal well-being of individuals with disabilities. Students will examine concepts of how the wellness of others is enhanced by using creative, respectful, people-centered practice that values personal choice, culture, and quality of life. Students will reflect on their personal wellness and explore strategies and resources to support a healthy professional practice. Life style changes that focus on self-direction and how individuals with disabilities can resume power over their own health in all areas will be emphasized.
