All professionals working with people with disabilities may carry unrealized assumptions, fears, and biases. This session invites participants to pause and reflect on how those hidden beliefs can shape interactions and the support we provide. Through personal stories, interactive discussion, and honest self-reflection, explore how our experiences and expectations may unintentionally influence the people we serve. By returning to the basics of human connection (curiosity, empathy, and awareness), we can strengthen our ability to see each client as an individual, building a more authentic, person-centered support structure.
