Summary

Systemic ableism marginalizes disabled individuals. Nonspeaking people advocate for communication accessibility and centering their needs in public life.

Area of Science:

  • Disability Studies
  • Sociology
  • Critical Theory

Background:

  • Personal narrative of experiencing ableism from childhood due to a neuromuscular disability.
  • Sociological framework of understanding ableism as systemic oppression linked to white supremacy and hypercapitalism.
  • The author's hospitalization and subsequent inability to eat, drink, or speak, leading to a new reality as a nonspeaking person.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reframe the experience of disability beyond individual limitations.
  • To challenge the sociopolitical structures that marginalize disabled individuals, particularly nonspeaking people.
  • To advocate for the centering of nonspeaking individuals and their communication needs in public spaces.

Main Methods:

  • Autoethnography and critical analysis of personal experience.
