Do you know what the five categories of barriers to access and inclusion are?
Are you presenting barriers without even realizing it?
Are you limiting your market reach because you’re unintentionally excluding potential customers from your services or facilities?
This 30-minute course is designed to provide important insight to some common barriers people with disabilities encounter when accessing physical spaces, information and services. You’ll also be introduced to the laws and legal requirements designed to help foster a more accessible and inclusive world for people living with disabilities.
Some key themes include:
The Ontario Human Rights Code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, and how the Code and Act work together to increase universal levels of accessibility
Introduction to the five categories of barriers people living with disabilities can face in their everyday lives
Approaches to help you understand how to start eliminating barriers and provide excellent customer service to everyone – to help you expand your market reach and customer base
This course is designed to meet Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) training compliance. So, by completing this course, you both increase your own awareness and ensure you (or your team) are meeting government training compliance in the workplace.
It includes a quiz and 80% is required to pass.
Hiring with diversity as a goal helps bring new voices, ideas, and perspectives to your organization. People with disabilities have often faced challenges in a not-always-accessible world. These experiences bring about perspectives they can bring to your organization to help identify and provide services or products geared toward a more diverse audience.
Those of us living with a disability offer the kind of skills and dedication today’s employers are looking for – as well as bringing a new, broader professional and experiential perspective to the workplace and the team. By sharing our lived experience, we can help employers do things like expand product and service offerings and fuel innovation. Add to that, a diverse team is an energized team.
This 30-minute course is designed to help learners work past the old stereotypes – and see more clearly who people with disabilities really are and what they offer their workplace and community. No matter how well you already understand what people living with disabilities are capable of and the value they bring to workplaces, we do hope this course will help you (and even your team) feel even more confident about working with people with disabilities – and benefitting from our experience and focus.
This course explores themes including:
What is a disability – and what does disability really mean to you?
How disabilities can be defined and understood based on different models and mindsets
How people with disabilities are sometimes portrayed inaccurately in contemporary media and marketing
Moving past presumption and barriers, and instead, fostering an environment of awareness and inclusivity
This course is designed to keep you engaged. Designed to provoke your reflection and analysis. And designed to help you understand working with people with disabilities is a prospect to be excited about.
As we age our skin naturally becomes more sensitive and prone to different forms of irritation and breakdown - and skin breakdown can be accelerated and aggravated by incontinence. The key to protecting skin from breakdown resulting from contact with urine and feces is understanding what kind of health conditions can cause incontinence and how, as a support provider, you can help minimize the damage incontinence can cause to a person's skin.
This series of modules introduces you to fundamental concepts related to the causes of incontinence, the risks and effects related to the skin, how you can help a person living with bladder or bowel incontinence care for the skin, and what kind of medical interventions or devices available to persons living with incontinence.
These modules will also help you prepare to actively and knowledgeably participate in the Continence and Skin Integrity instructor-led training (ILT). This online component of the program is comprised of 60 minutes of elearning (4 modules), with satisfactory completion of a module quiz required for each module. The online learning and resources serve as pre-work for the in-class or virtual ILT component of the program. The ILT session provides learners with three hours of interactive instruction provided by a lead educator and a person with a lived experience.

The last person to be imprisoned for homosexuality in Canada was Everett George Klippert. This controversial decision leads directly to the Criminal Law Amendment Act (Bill C-150). It is an omnibus bill that, among other things, decriminalizes gay sex. However, the struggle continued.
In America, on June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular Greenwich Village bar catering to LGBTQ+ customers. Decades of escalating, state-sanctioned harassment led officers to expect everyone to leave quietly as usual. But if that had happened, it wouldn’t have made history.
Decades of oppression of the LGBTQ+ community, cultural shifts in the 1960s, and good troublemaking became a catalyst for change and a symbol for LGBTQ+ rights that evolved into today’s Pride festivals and marches. This course explores the key events and personalities in North America that ultimately shaped a global movement.

Topic: Platelets from 13-lined Ground Squirrels are Resistant to Cold Storage Lesion
Presented by:
Dr. Scott Cooper
Professor of Biology at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse
Abstract: Hibernating ground squirrels have dramatically decreased heart rates (3-5 beats per minute) and blood flow, which should put them at risk of forming blood clots. In response, they have several adaptations during hibernation that prevent blood clotting, including 3-fold decreases in Factors VIII (FVIII) and IX (FIX), and 10-fold decreases in von Willebrand factor (vWF), neutrophils, and platelets. Ground squirrel platelets are resistant to in vivo and in vitro cold storage lesions and are not rapidly cleared after transfusion. This could be due to a combination of altered signaling pathways, resistance to cold-induced cellular damage, and interactions with extracellular factors. This research is pioneering the use proteomic and metabolomic techniques to determine how ground squirrel platelets are resistant to cold storage lesions in platelets and could lead to medical advances to treat thrombocytopenia, store human platelets in the cold for transfusions, and regulate blood coagulation in cases of accidental or induced hypothermia.

Topic: Novel Roles of Platelets in Infection and Inflammation
Presented by
Dr. Robert A. Campbell
Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Utah
Abstract:
I have concentrated my research effort on dissecting the mechanisms underpinning how cells alter coagulation under normal and disease situations, as well as determining how hemostasis and thrombosis, in turns, alters cellular response during inflammation. In particular, I have focused on understanding the regulation of transcription and translation in megakaryocyte and platelets under health and disease. To accomplish these goals, I have developed in vitro and in vivo model systems to examine gene and protein expression in megakaryocytes and platelets. We have elucidated novel mechanisms regulating megakaryocyte and platelet function and activation under normal homeostasis, including translational control mechanism regulated by microRNAs. We have also discovered that platelets and megakaryocytes possess novel intrinsic host defense mechanisms in addition to their ability to respond to inflammatory signals that induce robust changes in gene and protein expression. We have also demonstrated these changes in gene expression alter thrombo‐inflammatory responses, which often occur in the setting of aging and in the context of stroke. We also have extensively studied platelet interactions with other cells including neutrophils and monocytes and how these interactions alter platelet and leukocyte responses. In addition, my laboratory has significant experience dissecting molecular pathway in platelets, which regulate thrombosis using murine model systems. This includes in vivo models of thrombosis such as venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and ischemic stroke. In these studies, we have used state‐of‐the‐art technologies including RNA‐seq to examine the transcriptional changes in platelets and megakaryocytes from mice to uncover novel genes critical for platelet responses during inflammation and thrombosis.

You’ve probably heard the word “diversity” pretty frequently both in and out of the workplace, but are you confident you understand what it means and how it might impact your life?
Diversity—along with the complementary concepts of equity, and inclusion—impact your wellbeing, regardless of your background. Having a firm grasp on these terms is essential not only for a healthy workplace, but ultimately a healthier way of living.
This course will introduce you to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). By the time you’ve finished this course, you’ll be better equipped to understand the importance of DEI and take action to support diversity initiatives in the workplace.
Topics covered in this introductory course include how we’re socialized in the world, how biases form, and how these factors affect how we think and act—and feed into various systems of oppression. By the end of this course, you will:
1. Have a basic understanding of key DEI concepts.
2. Recognize how your specific background fits into the society you live in.
3. Know how to contribute to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
Understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is essential to creating a healthier community. But once you’ve grasped the conceptual elements of DEI, how do you put them into practice? And how can you apply your knowledge to your unique community?
In this course, you’ll learn how the stories we tell ourselves impact our well-being. You’ll discover the power of the narratives we tell as individuals, within social groups, and through institutions, and you’ll explore ways to counter these narratives through specific examples and exercises. By the end of this course, you will know how to:
1. Create space for diverse perspectives and critique current power structures.
2. Navigate the ambiguity and complexity that come with multiple perspectives.
3. Take action to promote equity and justice.
