The How Are You Project is a participatory theatre project that interrogates the everyday question of "how are you?" for people with non-visible disabilities and chronic illness; the many ‘versions' of response we give to that question, constantly navigating the who, what, whys and hows! Responding to that question was a particularly problematic area for me around the time of my MS diagnosis - this has been the starting point for The How Are You Project.
This 90 minute session will look at definitions and models of disability, theology, practical tips, and how to help people with invisible disabilities.

ARA Scotland is pleased to present this training event on hidden disabilities. With their own lived experience of hidden disabilities, the trainers (Philip Milnes-Smith and Iida Saarinen) will explore the taboos, tropes and stereotypes that continue to shape thinking about disability and offer a different framework. In small groups, participants will also have the opportunity to reflect with colleagues across the sector on overcoming barriers, real and perceived.
This session will look at how the invisible disabilities are still a stumbling block for employers whether that be in a recruitment or a disciplinary process. What can we do as a profession to ensure that right reasonable adjustments are considered and what does case law illustrate to date. Will this problem grow as we start to see the real impact of the COVID pandemic as it ripples through society? How do we raise awareness through education of managers? This session will be interactive and we cannot wait for you all to build into what is a very important topic which is often avoided.
The session will be linked to the Employment law session which runs on 30/11/2021 where Darren Newman will give a solicitor angle on what is in the system at the moment which may also be of interest.
Did you know 90% of disabilities are invisible? Professionals will share how to support people with invisible disabilities in the workplace.
“The difference between equity and equality is that equality is everyone gets the same thing and equity is everyone gets the things they deserve.” – DeRay Mckesson
According to the CDC, around 61 million in the US live with a disability as of 2018. Some of these disabilities are obvious, while some are hidden.
Any conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusion has to involve people with disabilities. We cannot create an equitable society if we exclude them. As allies, we need to make every effort to create spaces where a person with disability, whether it’s visible or hidden, can feel welcome and safe.
Our goal for this event is to help you become more comfortable with the topic of disability so you can engage your colleagues, clients, and community with confidence.

The 2018 National Health Survey identified that 74% of people who are disabled do not use a cane, wheelchair or any other visible aid. This can make it hard for people to empathise with their struggles when they aren't aware of it. And this is the biggest issue people with invisible illnesses face in the workplace.
Creating a diverse and inclusive world is now more important than ever.
Join us with our Associate, Roland, in a 30 minute taster webinar on Invisible Disabilities.

Finding the Ability in Disability
About this Event
Topics will include understanding visible and invisible disabilities; never ask about a disability; holding students to the same standards, high school to college transition; and neurodiversity. Facilitator: Kelly Mitchell
Millions of members of today’s workforce suffer from invisible disabilities, but are often subjected to verbal abuse and jokes because others do not understand these issues. Employers and their employees need to better understand how to deal with these disabilities and how to avoid violations of federal and local laws through proactivity. The information presenting in this workshop can be used immediately in the workplace and can lead to greater sensitivity to the struggles experienced by others who are affected by invisible disabilities.

FASD is known as a "invisible disability" because unlike many other disorders, few people have any distinct physical features; the challenges are brain based.
