About the book:
Demystifying Disability is an approachable guide to being a thoughtful, informed ally to disabled people, with actionable steps for what to say and do (and what not to do) and how you can help make the world a more inclusive place.
People with disabilities are the world's largest minority, an estimated 15 percent of the global population. But many of us--disabled and nondisabled 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 the important disability issues you need to know about, including:
- How to appropriately think, talk, and ask about disability - Recognizing and avoiding ableism (discrimination toward disabled people) - Practicing good disability etiquette - Ensuring accessibility becomes your standard practice, from everyday communication to planning special events - Appreciating disability history and identity - Identifying and speaking up about disability stereotypes in media
