Disability is often left out of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) because of a lack of awareness. Many people have a disability that we cannot see or notice, and it is only when we see a physical impairment that we notice a disability. This leads to a lack of awareness and understanding of the challenges and experiences that a disabled person may face. Also, because society is so focused on racism and gender bias that we do not even consider disability to be a factor in diversity. Another reason is bias, people may not view being disabled as being a part of diversity due to their own misconceptions and stigma associated with being disabled. Also, as discussed in the textbook, Keywords for Disability studies, diversity is something that we could see ourselves having and disability is something that we never want to see ourselves with (Davis et al., 2015).
The term TAB (temporarily able-bodied) is a term used to describe that an able-bodied person could become disabled at any time (Adams et al., 2015). It means that the disabled group is a group that any one of us could join in the future, whether it is in five, ten or thirty-years years from now. This adds to my understanding of disability that we should all be more aware and educated on disability and the experiences of disabled people. When disabled people are fighting for more access, amenities, and accommodations for their disabilities they may be fighting for us because we do not know if we are going to become disabled in the future.
A disabled persons socioeconomic status can give a person more privilege than an individual in a lower socioeconomic status. For example, if a disabled person is wealthy then they can afford better care for themselves. They can also afford the latest technology and equipment to make their lives easier. They are also able to pay for better healthcare and will have access to greater resources than a poor person. Also, a white person may be afforded more privilege than a non-white person. A non-white person may have to fight harder to receive a diagnosis, access to proper healthcare and adequate resources to help them with their disability. A non-white man who is deaf may be told to stop by the police, because he is deaf and cannot hear them and keeps walking the chances of him being shot at are much higher than an able-bodied white man.
