What's the difference between equality and equity and why does it matter? In this episode, Phyllis discusses why precision in our language around advocacy and disability rights is so important. You'll learn:
- What equality is and how, though well intentioned, it can actually create unfair outcomes
- What equity is and why it's the foundation for all humans to be successful and thrive
- A simple analogy to illustrate the difference between equality and equity and why accommodations are not the same thing as special treatment
We hope this overview gives you confidence to advocate for yourself and those you love, plus tools to better understand the importance of equitable learning and work environments.
