Cripping Healing
From: The Care We Dream Of
$2.20
Disability justice believes that disabled body/minds are part of the regular continuum of being human. In this essay, the author defines cripping healing as the way a disabled person defines the healing they want and need out of their expert knowledge of what works and doesn’t work for them.
