This exhibit was created with disability justice in mind. Disability justice rejects the medical model of disability that locates disabilities within individual bodies and as errors to be fixed, and embraces the social model that argues for universal design to accommodate the diversity of all bodyminds.
The creators of this exhibit believe that "disability" is not a dirty word. As such, we use identity-first language, such as "disabled person" or "autistic person," to acknowledges the reality that disabled people are whole -- a disabled person need not (and in fact cannot) be separated from their disabilities.
