306. What Is Ableism and How Do We Call It Out?


Listen Later

Oxford Dictionary defines ableism as: “discrimination in favor of able-bodied people.” And on today’s episode, we’re defining ableism with our own examples:


  • When someone is shocked by our child’s capabilities

  • When someone is suprised by our strong connection to our children

  • When someone volunteers for a disabilities organization believing they’re a hero


  • A lot of ableism is just actions and systems that we may have never questioned.. until being affected by disability. So what do we do when we experience ableism in our communities? Lets unpack it in this week’s episode.
