Building Structure Around Our Disability
Hello everyone, I'm Katrina from Living with Disabilities. You're tuned into the Living with Disabilities Website, the advocacy website dedicated to helping people comprehend the disabled community. The core purpose of our website is to assist society in recognizing the full range of various disabilities and conditions. Accessibility is a key component of this understanding. Without accessibility, there's exclusion. This week, we'll explore Building Structure Around Our Disability. Let's push 'Dis' aside and focus on the 'Ability' here at Living with Disabilities.
This article takes a fresh look at the concept of 'Disability structure' in the context of Living with Disabilities. Many will read this article and ponder the subject, considering the gravity of disabilities and their timing. However, our discussion is not framed in that context.
We are broadening the understanding of how individuals with disabilities and conditions navigate their lives. They are actively raising their voices, emphasizing the crucial importance of listening to every person's perspective. Many individuals may hold differing opinions from the host regarding discussions on disabilities or conditions. The host's perspective is shaped by her personal journey over the past nine years, and while we won't dive into details, her story is widely recognized. Many have learned from various articles, and through these pieces, she has provided examples that illustrate the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities or conditions. Katrina shares her story not just to recount her early life challenges but also to raise awareness, helping others understand that their actions can lead to grave consequences or disabilities. It's been a difficult path to overcome self-denial, and establishing this platform has been her means of navigating through it.
Discussing how the host carved out space during her self-abnegation phase, it's noteworthy that many individuals with disabilities also find methods to navigate their conditions. Finding a workaround doesn't imply the absence of their disability; rather, it highlights how they adapt and manage to live with it.
People with disabilities don't dwell on their limitations or stay in a state of sadness, hoping for circumstances to align with their desires. Instead, when they encounter an obstacle, their minds spring into action, and they start to make the best of what they possess. Despite the presence of flaws in the system, we create numerous strategies to navigate around them, constructing a plan tailored to our requirements that enables us to overcome the system's shortcomings.
What lessons can society learn from seeing individuals with disabilities or conditions successfully adapt to their challenges? Society can learn that individuals with disabilities or conditions can adapt and create solutions tailored to their needs, which can lead to a more inclusive and equitable environment for everyone.
