Parenting a Disabled Child: Nurturing Self Worth

This is the story of one parent’s desire to let his son define disability for himself, instead of letting the world define it for him. By focusing on a story involving a lack of childcare solely because of who the child is, the speaker provides a compelling argument against static processes that seek to reduce disabled people down to descriptors and categories, and instead envisions a world where people are defined for who they are instead of who they’re not.
