Lesson 3: Knowing about ableism
- It’s often hard to see ableism because we learn it from our daily lives.
- Internalized ableism:
- is when people with or without disabilities are not aware that they have ableist beliefs.
- Systemic ableism:
- is everywhere in society. It’s part of all systems and institutions.
- makes us think there is a right way to be or do things.
