Who are we? What and why are we doing this podcast?
To kick off our series, we are going to be talking about Ableism in this episode. There are some negative perceptions about and even within the disability community. When speaking to someone who has a condition that is unfamiliar, people are often wary of saying the wrong thing. When writing or speaking about people with disabilities, it is important to put the person first. Catch-all phrases such as 'the blind', 'the deaf' or 'the disabled', do not reflect the individuality, equality or dignity of people with disabilities, so we hope to educate you on some dos and don'ts.
