Using Disability Culture
How might knowing about or having examples of disability culture be useful?
1. Explain why people with disabilities think our culture is important.
2. Use examples to demonstrate disability rights, history, talents and resources.
How can the discourse of disability culture relate to general discourse of social experience
on campuses?
Prejudice is a far greater problem than any impairment; discrimination a bigger obstacle to
overcome than any disability.”
Paul K. Longmore
