Implicit or unconscious bias leads to microaggressions, attitudinal barriers, and discrimination. Unconscious biases toward disabilities are pervasive and influence negative attitudes, words, and behaviors that exclude people with disabilities. Disability is diversity. We have found the following resources that help increase awareness, minimize biases, and promote inclusion:
