Summary

"A young adult adaptation of Alice Wong's Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century"--, Provided by publisher"What is a disability? What does having a disability mean to the one in five people in the United States who have one or several? the seventeen eye-opening essays in Disability Visibility, all written by disabled people, offer keen insight into the complex and rich disability experience, examining life's ableism and inequality, its challenges and losses, its wisdom, passion, and joy. The accounts in this collection ask readers to think about disabled people not as individuals who need to be "fixed", but as members of a community with it's own history, culture, and movements. Adapted for young adults, Disability Visibility offers diverse perspectives that speak to past, present, and future generations. It is essential reading for all." -- from cover
