THIS YEAR’S TOPIC
What is a disability, anyway?
In an era of ever-growing pharmaceutical enhancement, what counts as intellectually disabled, and why would that matter? How does the way we define disability (and normalcy) impact the just distribution of resources in society — and the way society treats those who happen to fall outside the norm? How are foundational concepts in ethics like dignity or autonomy complicated by reflection on the many ways we are dependent on others in the course of any “normal” human lifespan?
Each year, the Kennedy Institute of Ethics convenes a wide-ranging and personal conversation among expert panelists, preceded and informed by student work on the same topic. We can’t wait to share this year’s conversation, complicating the very notion of “disability.” Join us this February, in-person at Georgetown University, or digitally via live-stream, as our team goes deep on this thought-provoking and deeply important issue.

Did you know? This year’s topic celebrates one of the issues at the heart of the KIE story: disability.
The Institute was founded in 1971 with support from the Rose and Joseph Kennedy Foundation, inspired in large part by the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to advancing the rights of the disabled. This year’s topic celebrates that founding vision of a world where the voices of the powerless are made powerful through thoughtful reflection and theory-driven advocacy, and it dives deep into some of the most complicated and interesting questions in disability ethics today.

Positive Exposure Lecture and 2 Workshops
Our agency mission is to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential and to participate in community life. Our vision is a community where disability is a distinction without a difference, where individuals will have choices on how they live, learn, work, worship, and play.
The in-service training that we are hosting on March 19th is an annual training for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) for professional development. It is an inter-agency training where DSPs from agencies in Duval and Putnam Counties attend to increase their awareness and knowledge about how to best serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We have a keynote address and breakout sessions that deal with topics that are relevant to the care of and services provided for the individuals we serve. Together the Arc Jacksonville, Pine Castle, Inc., The Arc of Putnam County and the other providers that attend serve over 1,500 people with I/DD on a daily basis.

“Voorbij de perceptie”: een unieke belevingsweek in de Flagship van BNP Paribas Fortis te Gent
In samenwerking met Positive Exposure Belgium, La Maison Imaginaire en Focus-Plus organiseert BNP Paribas Fortis Gent een unieke belevingsweek onder de noemer “Voorbij de perceptie”
Centraal staan persoonlijke verhalen die een nieuw of ander licht laten schijnen op anders zijn, anders denken en anders doen.
Is uw perceptie het resultaat van onderschatting, overschatting of eerder gepolariseerd?
Is uw waarneming objectief of subjectief?
Voor de gelegenheid worden de monitors en digitale ledwand van het Flagship in hartje Gent omgebouwd tot een interactieve fotogalerij. Heel persoonlijke digitale portetten en verhalen van Positive Exposure en Focus Plus doen bezoekers nadenken over hoe zij kijken naar bepaalde mensen met een zichtbare of onzichtbare beperking. In de ‘psycho box’ van La Maison Imaginaire kruipt u mee in de hoofd van iemand met een psychose.
Wanneer?
maandag 19 maart tot zaterdagmiddag 24 maart 2018
Tijdens de openingsuren van het kantoor:
ma-vr: 9u30 tot 18u
za: 9u30-12u
Waar?
Flagship van BNP Paribas Fortis Gent, Zonnestraat 2, 9000 Gent

SAMPLE POSTS
From AMY:
I had a great Christmas. One of my favorite gifts was a Positive Exposure sweatshirt. My mom had my name put on it, and I think it looks cool. When people ask me about Positive Exposure I tell them it’s about showing everyone that people with disabilities have lives, too!
When I’m ready, I tell my friends about XP/TTD. I don’t really think of my self as just a disease. It’s part me, but it’s not the most important part of me.
From Grad Student Arielle:
So grades were posted yesterday (and I survived).
