This guide encourages a greater understanding about what it means to be disabled and how to be an ally against ableism. Separate sections present related topics in a direct, conversational style. An "Ableism 101" primer first provides an overview on how this type of discrimination impacts the minds, bodies, relationships, and rights of disabled people as well as myths associated with disability (e.g., all disabilities are visible). The second chapter offers tips on how people with disabilities can advocate for their needs and rights while the third chapter helps readers assess whether they employ ableist language and actions and, if so, how they can change their thinking. Finally, the last section gives readers specific comments and actions they can use to become disability allies when witnessing ableism in a variety of situations. Real-world scenarios, quizzes, Q&As, and fresh graphics featuring a range of intersectional identities make this resource both inclusive and appealing.

This reader-directed exploration of ableism is both informative and empowering.

Self-assessment quizzes, real life scenarios, myths, and Q&As all contribute to understanding ableism and ableist behavior, and readers will learn to identify, address, and provide helpful, effective solutions. Strategies for change for both readers and their peers are included.

Author Kimberley Maich uses her experience as a special education specialist, certified teacher, registered psychologist, and board-certified behavior analyst to present a realistic and accurate look at ableism.

The text is accompanied on every page by graphic novel-style illustrations that depict characters often not included in illustrated books. Illustrator Kay Nau draws on their experience as a disabled and neurodivergent artist to bring authenticity and life to the characters and scenarios discussed within the book.
