Friend,

From interactions in public to portrayals in fiction, it’s common for non-disabled people to view someone with a disability as a victim – or even someone to fear. But as creative writer Mids Meinberg points out in an Easterseals blog about disability representation, “Disability isn’t scary, ableism is.”

That’s because ableism – discrimination against people with disabilities – is a big problem. That’s why it’s so important to recognize unconscious bias when it shows up in our society, in others, and even ourselves.

Will you put yourself to the test by taking our ableism quiz now?

Though we’ve made great strides in improving overall perceptions of disability, the stigma from ableism continues to be one of the biggest obstacles in the way of making our world more equitable and inclusive.

We launched our new Ableism Quiz to help you recognize and take action against bias when you see it – and discover if you have any of these sentiments yourself. Are you ready to challenge your own biases now? Take our quiz today!

Thank you for helping us fight ableism and support people with disabilities.
