Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to Be an Ally | Emily Ladau

I learned a lot from this clear and open book about disability, equity, and understanding. Ms. Ladau keeps the tone light and accessible but doesn‘t shy away from the painful aspects of ableism, privilege, and dismissive assumptions. I recommend this to everyone as we can all learn more about connecting with others with kindness and understanding. Great on #audio and read by the author. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Emily Ladau talks about what has changed with disability law and representation already in US history, what still needs to, and how are some concrete ways we can start fighting ableism in our everyday lives. #Nonfiction2022ImBodyPositive @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

I will continue to return to this book from time to time. It‘s a great place to start learning more about disability and disability rights. I had the pleasure of discussing the book in our book club with the author, Emily Ladau, and I feel empowered to be less weird around people whose experiences I‘m not familiar with.

Perfect for a coffee table or to keep in your backpack to chuck at ableist pricks when you‘ve had enough of their bs

Not the best book about disabilities in my opinion, but it should be good for others.

Good primer on disabilities with current & up to date information. There was a chapter on intersectionality and disabilities which I really thought was great. There was also the discussion of first person or identity first language when discussing disabilities. There is a big shift in the disability community on the use of this language and lots of changes happening. When in doubt ask the person or parent (of a disabled child) how they identify.

A useful disability 101 primer aimed mostly at a non-disabled audience. An excellent starting point for basic concepts, practices, and info on how to be more informed, and a better ally to the disabled community.
