We need to move away from the medical model of disability and embrace the social model of disability. This will help us recognise how society disables us and not our disability. We can then bring down those barriers to make a more inclusive world for people with disabilities

Words are one of the most powerful tools we have. They can inspire. They can destroy. Whether spoken or written, your words can have a huge impact and leave a lasting memory, good or bad. So the saying goes ‘choose your words wisely.’ It couldn’t be more true in the context of disability.
