Description

Disability Is Human is a compassionate and practical guide to understanding and embracing accessibility in everyday life.

Author Dr Stephanie W. Cawthon highlights that disability is not an “other” experience; one in four people will experience a disability at some point, spanning from visible to invisible, temporary to lifelong. Through stories, lived experiences, and supporting data, the book provides insight into who experiences disability, why accessibility matters, and how we can embed it joyfully and effectively into daily life.

Dr. Cawthon’s approach blends humour, narrative, and practical guidance, making accessibility tangible, relatable, and actionable. Readers will leave with concrete strategies to foster environments, routines, and interactions that empower everyone to thrive.
