“Disability is not something an individual overcomes. I'm still disabled. I'm still Deafblind. People with disabilities are successful when we develop alternative techniques and our communities choose inclusion.”
― Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
― Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
“Society frames people with disabilities as incapable of contributing. And yet, these kids treat me like someone with gifts to share and lessons to teach.”
― Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
― Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
“Navigating ableist situations is like traversing the muckiest mud pit. Ableism runs so deep in our society that most ableists don't recognize their actions as ableist. They coat ableism in sweetness, then expect applause for their "good" deeds. Attempts to explain the ableism behind the "good deeds" get brushed aside as sensitive, angry, and ungrateful.”
