Ableism
ableism is the discrimination or prejudice against people who have disabilities. ableism can take the form of ideas and -ssumptions, stereotypes, att-tudes and practices, physical barriers in the environment, or larger scale oppression. it is oftentimes unintentional and most people are completely unaware of the impact of their words or actions.
the thought that people with disabilities are dependent and require the care and support of someone else is an example of ableism. sometimes this comes out in the form of people helping people with disabilities without asking them if they need -ssistance (and of course waiting the affirmative response).
another example would be in designing sp-ces, places, events, information, communication, and technology without considering the variety of needs of people with disabilities. for example, a building that is built to code can still be technically inaccessible if the ramp is around the back of the building or if there is no automatic door opener installed.
