Sobre IBD

Many people think that profound disability presents us with a real problem, often because it seems difficult to connect with someone who does not seem to think or act like us. Positioning profound disability in this way immediately sets up a ’them’ and ’us’, where the person with profound disability becomes the problematic ’other’.
