Product Description:

This poster documents a learning activity for students in a pediatric neuromuscular management course related to the representation of disability in the media. Students watched a movie or TV series that portrayed a condition presented in the class and discussed the representation of the disability with another individual. This fun and creative assignment allowed students to understand the public's perception of disability, reinforce course material, and educate others.
