From the Ted Talk by Meghan Hussey: 4 ways to design a disability-friendly future
Unscramble the Blue Letters
The good news is there are four things we all can do to make the future more inclusive. Number one, we need to raevtleuae our own attitudes towards disability. I still get questions about whether it is "realistic" to include persons with disabilities in international development programs when even the so-called rleuagr people are struggling. There are still too many stereotypes that associate disability with pity, and we're still lvniig with saoicl systems and phaycsil structures that segregate people with disabilities. So fewer people have it as part of their everyday experience, and it still makes them really uncomfortable. We need to re-evaluate these attitudes. Needing accommodation or support does not make a person any less deserving of digntiy and respect. This is a matter of justice and eqiuty, not charity.

I still get questions about whether it is "realistic" to include persons with disabilities in international development programs when even the so-called regular people are struggling. There are still too many stereotypes that associate disability with pity, and we're still living with social systems and physical structures that segregate people with disabilities. So fewer people have it as part of their everyday experience, and it still makes them really uncomfortable. We need to re-evaluate these attitudes.
