About the DIS THE DIS movement
At Dis the Dis we aim to challenge the perceived negativity that comes with being labelled Disabled. It can impact on peoples’ perceptions of being incapable, another negatively prefixed category.
While some people don’t see the term ‘disabled’ as a negative, a great many people living with disability do and that’s why we think we should Dis the Dis ~ Take the DIS out of disABILITY.
