Abstract
In this video, members of the TEDI-VI MOOC panel discuss the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) from a critical and personal point of view. They discuss their experiences of being taught certain skills (such as walking with a cane) and how these educational techniques often did not take into account the emotional needs of the learners. They reflect on the ways in which the teaching of the ECC can appear to be designed to fit people with visual disabilities into the existing societal framework rather than transform society to be more accepting of difference and diversity. Michelle reflects on the ways in which career opportunities are discussed with visually-impaired individuals and how best to have those conversations in a productive way.
