Disability Culture

Disability Culture is a community and set of shared values, experiences, and perspectives among people with disabilities. It emphasizes acceptance, identity, and pride, challenging stereotypes and promoting awareness of disability rights and diversity. Rather than viewing disability solely as a limitation, this culture fosters empowerment, self-advocacy, and solidarity, celebrating the unique ways individuals live, communicate, and thrive. It also seeks to ensure accessibility, inclusion, and recognition of the contributions of people with disabilities to society.
