- Description:
The seventeen eye-opening essays in Disability Visibility, all written by disabled people, offer keen insight into the complex and rich disability experience, examining life's ableism and inequality, its challenges and losses, and celebrating its wisdom, passion, and joy.
The accounts in this collection ask readers to think about disabled people not as individuals who need to be “fixed,” but as members of a community with its own history, culture, and movements. They offer diverse perspectives that speak to past, present, and future generations. It is essential reading for all.- Related Products:

A note about content
As Alice Wong makes plain in the introduction to Disability Visibility (Adapted for Young Adults), “Whether you are disabled or not, some of the ideas and words may be new or uncomfortable for you, and that is the point!” We encourage you, the parent, to preread the anthology to decide how this book might fit into your family’s vision and values and to be prepared to explore its ideas with your teen. This collection was selected and edited from the essays found in the original book, Disability Visibility—which offers more essays and covers more mature content. Older teens may enjoy comparing and contrasting the editorial changes made to the selections in this young readers edition. (See “Adapted for Young Readers” in Week Four for more on this topic.)
