Ableism

Ableism is the systematic devaluation of people with disabilities through assumptions that non-disabled bodies and minds are the default and superior standard. It operates in architecture, language, hiring, medicine, and social interaction—places where disabled people are treated as problems to fix rather than people whose different needs are legitimate design challenges.
