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 accessible, inclusive place.

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.
