Abstract
As there is a high prevalence of disability in Canada, anyone might experience disability at some point in their lives. This is relevant because individuals with disabilities are more prone to experience barriers such as systemic discrimination, violence, prejudice, and stereotypes that affect their mental health and life experiences. Those counsellors who are unconsciously ableist could also be discriminating against people with disabilities as a result of the lack of understanding of the disability experience. The aim of this capstone is to examine the accessibility and inclusivity of group counselling practices for people with physical disabilities and create awareness of its importance in the counselling psychology field. The disability justice framework combined with a feminist theory lens will guide this research and its applicability. I will propose a protocol for group counselling that includes space considerations that offer equal accessibility, anti-ableism, and an anti-racism focus for individuals with physical disabilities.
