Disability is not inside a person's body; it lives in a society that was not built to welcome them.

When a wheelchair user stops in front of a train station that has only stairs, where does the problem really lie? Most people would say it lies in the legs that cannot walk. But if there were one elevator, that person could get on the train without anyone's help. Glasses are another good example. In a society where glasses are cheap and easy to get, poor eyesight is hardly ever called a disability. In other words, what counts as a disability depends on which kind of person society used as the standard when it built its roads, buildings, jobs, and tests. For a long time, humanity has designed the world to fit the bodies and minds of the majority, and has called those who do not fit people to pity or people to help. The danger in this view is that it makes one idea seem natural: that the person is the one who must change. Treatment and training are demanded again and again, while the design itself is rarely questioned. What we need is not more kindness, but a redrawn blueprint. Whenever we make a new building, rule, or machine, we can check from the start whether people with many kinds of bodies and ways of sensing can use it. The cost of fixing what does not fit can be paid by society, not by the individual. Then disability will be seen not as one person's bad luck, but as a design flaw that society has the power to fix.
