An approachable guide to being a thoughtful, informed ally to disabled people, with actionable steps for what to say and do and how you can help make the world a more accessible, inclusive place.

Disabled people are the world?s largest minority, an estimated 15 percent of the global population.

? How to appreciate disability history and identity
? How to recognize and avoid ableism
? How to be mindful of good disability etiquette
? How to appropriately think, talk, and ask about disability
? How to ensure accessibility becomes your standard practice, from everyday communication to planning special events
? How to identify and speak up about disability stereotypes in media

Authored by celebrated disability rights advocate, speaker, and writer Emily Ladau, this practical, intersectional guide offers all readers a welcoming place to understand disability as part of the human experience.
