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.
