Sociology

The Social Construction of Disability and Everyday Accessibility

Quick fact

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 was a turning point: it reframed disability not as an individual deficit but as a failure of the environment to accommodate human diversity. Since then, ramps and accessible buses have become legal requirements, not charity.

Why this is interesting

You probably think of disability as something a person has—a limitation, a condition. But what if the real problem is a world that simply isn't built for everyone?
