UK Disability History Month 2015

The theme for UK Disability History Month 2015 isPortrayal of Disability: Then and Now

Examining the way disability and disabled people havebeen shown in past periods and now.

Social attitudes change and are represented in howdisabled people are shown or described, but strongstereotypes rooted in past attitudes and cultures carryon and are often reused, keeping strong negativetreatment of disabled people.

UKDHM supports a ‘social model’ approach to disabilitywhich moves away from seeing disability as anindividual deficit or problem to recognising that socialand attitude barriers disable the rich range of humanswith a wide range of impairments or differences.
