Disabled people are the world’s largest minority, an estimated 15 percent of the global population. But many of us–disabled and non-disabled alike–don’t know how to act, what to say, or how to be an ally to the disability community. Demystifying Disability is a friendly handbook on important disability issues you need to know about, including:
- How to appreciate disability history and identity
- How to recognize and avoid ableism (discrimination toward disabled people)
- How to be mindful of good disability etiquette
- How to appropriately think, talk, and ask about disability
- How to ensure accessibility becomes your standard practice, from everyday communication to planning special events
- How to identify and speak up about disability stereotypes in media
Authored by celebrated disability rights advocate, speaker, and writer Emily Ladau, this practical, intersectional guide offers all readers a welcoming place to understand disability as part of the human experience.
