- Abstract
Authors of recent evidence-based practice literature have shown that disability education programs increase knowledge and understanding of disabilities in program participants; these programs have also produced a short-term increase in positive attitudes toward disabilities. This doctoral capstone project took place at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. A disability education program was created for managers to increase knowledge about support for disabled employees and increase positive attitudes toward disabilities. The program took place in four sessions; topics included destigmatizing disability, education on common disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and universal design, and providing workplace accommodations. Pre- and post-assessments were used to measure program outcomes. The change in scores demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge among participants, as well as a slight decrease in comfort in scenarios related to attitude towards disability.
