A great introduction to disability history and addressing ableism! A fantastic, quick primer on a topic that has very much been pushed off to the side or is considered “too uncomfortable” to talk about.
It Is very much a “beginners guide” so to say and I would not necessarily recommend it to someone who has lived experience with a disability or has been involved in disability advocacy for a while.
From an accessibility standpoint (as this is a book about disability), its physical copy has a nice comfortable weight and page thickness to it for easy holding and page turning. From a processing standpoint, more difficult terms are explained clearly and easily. However, it uses a sans-serif font, which can be difficult for some people with dyslexia or vision disabilities to process.

- If you are an able-bodied person, DEMYSTIFYING DISABILITY is a great 101-level resource for everything from disability rights history to proper language to ensuring accessibility is always top of mind for any given event.
- Even if you think you have a handle on all thing disability, I'd still recommend checking it out. I realized when I got to the history section that I had little concept of disability rights activism before the Americans With Disabilities Act, and I learned a lot.
- The writing style of this book is friendly, a we're-in-this-together tone. It would be a great gift for a young reader given the tone and simplicity of the writing, since disability and accessibility issues are generally not taught in schools.
