Difference
- How do we deal with difference?
o Dominant response: common expectation
o Most of us want to fix deviations like this: compelled, urgently
o People assume that if someone is missing something, they want it back (i.e., losing the ability to
walk)
o People are not disabled by their disabilities, it is the world around them that disables them
The Shaping Impact of Images
- Adjectives? – describe the tone, images, and feeling of this promo?
- Compare? – to typical images of disability
- Likely Outcome? – on public perception of life with disability? Attitudes of people with disabilities?
An Example:
- Whe a floer doest loo, ou fi the eiroet i hih it gros, ot the floer. – Alexander
Den Heijer
o Why do we keep looking at the faults of the individual?
o Wh dot e fi soiet?

o More solutions than medical; different ways of doing things
- Natural instinct to gro ad get etter ut lets also ask: at hat ost? What do ou lose i fousig
on growing?
o As Voltaire sas Le Mieu est leei du ie…
- Why not consider what other options there are?
- If ot foused o fiig the prole of disailit ad the person, then what else might you be
investing your energy in? Is that alternative more effective? Compassionate? Long-lasting? Radical?
