Abstract

Healthcare education programs often engage in learning activities that attempt to simulate the lived experiences of persons with disabilities (PWD). While well-intentioned, these activities can often result in negative consequences, counteracting the stated goals of the activity, including increased empathy and respect for disabled individuals. Health educators have an opportunity to shift attitudes about individuals with disabilities through mindful framing of learning activities that center lived experiences of individuals and promote anti-ableism.
