Medicalnewstoday.com defines ableism as “...bias, prejudice, and discrimination against people with disabilities. It hinges on the idea that people with disabilities are less valuable than non-disabled people.” 

Ableism has been present Alycia's entire life.

Ableism came from the moment she was born, along with her twin sister. Doctors recommended she be placed in long term care, hospitals and not given the surgeries that she needed when she was born.

Alycia describes ableism as "the thief in the night of inclusion."

Disabling ableism is creating a world where we are creating products and services and infrastructure and social settings and education and employment, all of it where we're creating a path of accessibility for everyone where we're not looking at the able bodied only as the only box, we need to check off to make everything work.
