Description
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
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, Booklist – “A candid, accessible cheat sheet for anyone who wants to thoughtfully join the conversation . . . Emily makes the intimidating approachable and the complicated clear.”–Rebekah Taussig, author of Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary, Resilient, Disabled BodyPeople 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. What are the appropriate ways to think, talk, and ask about disability? Demystifying Disability is a friendly handbook on the important disability issues you need to know about, including: – 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 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. Praise for Demystifying Disability “Whether you have a disability, or you are non-disabled, Demystifying Disability is a MUST READ. Emily Ladau is a wise spirit who thinks deeply and writes exquisitely.”–Judy Heumann, international disability rights advocate and author of Being Heumann “Emily Ladau has done her homework, and Demystifying Disability is her candid, accessible cheat sheet for anyone who wants to thoughtfully join the conversation. A teacher who makes you forget you’re learning, Emily makes the intimidating approachable and the complicated clear. This book is a generous and needed gift.”–Rebekah Taussig, author of Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body
