Stereotypes

• That they are less intelligent• That they are lazy/making it up if disability is not visible• That they expect easier treatment • That they can't answer for themselves that they are all very

sweet (or all very mean)• That they cannot do regular tasks not related to their disability • That they are fragile in ways unrelated to the disability.• That they are a liability rather than an asset • That they are all the same, and personal needs and

preferences are irrelevant/non existent
