The Rise of Disability Studies page 507: “For example, a person using a wheelchair is only disabled if there are no ramps; a Deaf scholar is only disabled if there is no interpreter provided at a conference; a blind scholar is disabled in the absence of large-type or Braille texts, or a computer and scanner.”
