CAI took the Introduction to Disability Studies course to gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural aspects of disability. The course was pretty cool, and I learned a lot about the different models of disability and how they impact people's lives. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided some great examples of how to apply the concepts in real-life situations. I liked that the course included a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge, which made it easier to understand and retain the information. One thing that really stuck with me was the discussion on ableism and how it affects people with disabilities. It was a real wake-up call, and I feel more aware and sensitive to these issues now. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, and I think it's a great starting point for anyone looking to learn about disability studies.
