Disability Pride
Why disability pride? To promote the belief that having a disability or difference is a natural part of human diversity and to celebrate that diversity. This does not follow the “medical model” that views people with differences as having a medical condition that requires treatment. While individuals in the disability pride movement may seek medical treatment for conditions relating to their disability, these tend to be health related and not “cure” related.
