"When the 2022 Australian of the Year was announced, Dylan Alcott wheeled onto
the stage. Australian audiences are tuning in to watch TV shows featuring
people with disability:
You Can’t Ask That,
Love on the Spectrum and
Employable Me.
The Disability Pride movement is gaining momentum and people with disability
are becoming part of the diversity conversation.
On the surface, it would appear we have come a long way in our collective
attitudes towards disability. But two of society’s biggest “-isms” still go
largely unnoticed and unaddressed: ableism and disablism.
What do these terms mean? And how can we all do better to dismantle them?"
