This resource from the Access Living website explores ableism as a form of discrimination against people with disabilities.

Ableism refers to the systemic discrimination and prejudice against people with disabilities, rooted in the belief that they are inherently inferior or in need of fixing. It manifests in both overt and subtle ways, from inaccessible infrastructure to everyday micro-aggressions and dismissive attitudes. Understanding ableism is essential for creating truly inclusive communities and recognizing the dignity, autonomy, and contributions of people with disabilities.
