Disability is part of our culture, our families, our friends, and our history. Living in a society that is built for able-bodied people doesn’t allow for much education and awareness around disability within the United States. But disability can be tracked through history all the way back to ancient times. And throughout the last two thousand years, the treatment and laws surrounding communities with disabilities have always been…well… full of contradictions. Society can’t seem to decide if they want to provide accommodations and resources for these communities or treat people with a disability differently. Join us in this episode to learn more about key points in disability history and then learn about the state of disability today!
