I thoroughly enjoyed the Disability Studies course at Stanmore School of Business! As a future social worker, I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding disability. The course content was incredibly comprehensive, covering topics from disability rights to inclusive education. One of the most impactful aspects was learning about the social model of disability, which completely shifted my perspective on how to support individuals with disabilities. The course materials were top-notch, with engaging videos, readings, and discussions that encouraged critical thinking. I appreciated how the instructors wove in real-life examples, making the content feel highly relevant and applicable. Overall, I feel much more confident in my ability to create inclusive environments and advocate for disability rights. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone passionate about social justice and disability advocacy!

I took the Disability Studies course at Stanmore School of Business and it was a really cool experience. I learned a lot about disability culture and history, which was super interesting. The course covered a lot of ground, from disability law to accessible technology. I liked how the instructors used case studies to illustrate key concepts - it made the material feel more tangible. One thing that stood out to me was the discussion on ableism and how it affects people with disabilities. It was eye-opening to see how pervasive ableism is in our society. The course materials were solid, but sometimes I felt like they could be more interactive. Still, I appreciated the flexibility of the online platform and the support from the instructors. If you're interested in disability studies, I'd say this course is a good starting point.
