Explore a thought-provoking TEDx talk that challenges societal perceptions of disability and advocates for systemic change. Delve into Jackie Marcoux's personal journey as someone diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss at age 4, and discover how her experiences highlight the barriers faced by the disabled community. Learn about the social model of disability and its potential to foster a more inclusive and compassionate world. Gain insights into the prevalence of disability in the United States, with approximately 1 in 4 Americans being disabled, making it the second largest minority group in the country. Understand the importance of addressing systemic issues rather than viewing individuals with disabilities as the problem. This 20-minute presentation, delivered by a deaf advocate and creative professional working in learning and development, offers a compelling perspective on breaking down barriers and rebuilding a more accessible society for all.
