Disability Is Human: The Vital Power Of Accessibility In Everyday Life

Disability Is Human is your gentle guide to accessibility through the lens of real, lived experiences of disabled people and their loved ones. Disability is not an "other" experience - one in four people experience a disability at any given time - and ranges from visible to invisible and temporary to life-long. Through data and stories, Dr. Cawthon provides the context and insights to understand the who, why, and how of accessibility. After reading Disability Is Human, you will leave with tangible methods for effectively and joyfully making accessibility an integral part of your everyday life. Dr. Stephanie W. Cawthon's work focuses on disability, ableism, and accessibility and how we can build spaces where all of us can thrive. She seeks out personal connection both as a researcher and a teacher. She engages people from all walks of life through humor, story, and practical examples that both encourage and challenge us all to dig deep and reach higher.
