See the following for some ideas. It really hits close to the truth.

What I found about this video is that it demonstrates the perception that a person with a disability is either a hero because they move outside the door or they are an object of pity. The other major dynamic is whether a person with a disability should sit tight till a cure is found or whether society should learn to develop environments that accomodate those who live in it.

At the last Kanchi Sounding Board meeting I gave a very quick overview of the development of UN policy from 1948 to date. This showed that the perception of disability has changed and continues to change in the intervening decades. We need to demonstrate the fact that including our needs in all aspects of society is good for all of society. Universal Design transforms our aspirations to a value proposition that can be measured, and thus managed, by the key stakeholders with whom we must liaise.
