Quotes About Disability

Part of the problem with the word ‘disabilities’ is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can’t feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren’t able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.

Two one-armed people might seem perfect for each other, but what if they’re both missing the same arm? Then even something simple like holding hands while walking becomes a case of they’re too similar to see themselves really going anywhere as a couple.

I Have a Dream… someday my son, Zyon and ALL individuals with disabilities will be seen as HUMAN beings.

I Have a Dream… someday the human & civil rights of individuals with disabilities are honored and they are treated as equals.

I Have a Dream… someday ALL parents who have children with disabilities see their child as a blessing and not a burden.

I Have a Dream… someday there will be more jobs and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

I Have a Dream… someday there will be UNITY “within” the disabled community.

I HAVE A DREAM!!!”
