The Town of Sudbury’s Commission on Disability, the Goodnow Library, and Sudbury Cooperative Preschool’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion initiative invite you to a Zoom event with Ashley Harris Whaley from Disability Reframed for a conversation on “Unlearning Ableism: Action, Allyship, and How to Talk to Children about Disability". It is a wonderful opportunity for parents/guardians, grandparents, educators and allies of the disability community to come together to learn and ask questions.

Ashley is an author, speaker, and disability educator. Disability Reframed combines self-learning with open dialogue and conversation to create a space where decades-old attitudes towards disability, disabled lives, and disabled people are dismantled, examined, and then thoughtful rebuilt.

This event is part of the “Understanding Differences: A Look at Disability” series. Closed Captioning will be provided as well as an American Sign Language interpreter during the event. If you are interested in attending and need accommodations, please contact disability@sudbury.ma.us.
