Ageism is so deeply embedded in our culture that often we don't even notice it's there. It is so pervasive that it even has its own language - ELDERSSPEAK. Elderspeak is used with older adults, but it resembles speech used with children. This subject will be discussed in two one hr. workshops.
Workshop #1 - Bring to class: rough notes and observations of personal experiences with Elderspeak.
Workshop # 2 - Bring personal journal of observations and personal experiences. Limit: 15.
