My main take away from Dr. Keisling's presentation today was the progress we have made as a society to include people with disabilities in our daily lives. From the pictures he shared with us today and the stories that were told, it is horrific to think about how we use to treat people with disabilities. I have a clear understanding now as to why we need to know this history so that it never happens again. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana.
I believe that covering this material will have a big impact on not only myself, but all of us as we become OT practitioners. We have a new generation of people who have grown up without ever knowing what it is like to be discriminated against, but we still have the ones that were. Understanding this history will help us be better OT practitioners and helping us strive to continue making sure that no one is treated differently again.
