Empowerment and disability refer to the process and principles supporting individuals with disabilities to gain control over their own lives, make informed choices, and actively participate in society. Empowerment emphasizes enhancing self-advocacy, confidence, and autonomy among people with disabilities, enabling them to overcome barriers and challenges they face due to their disabilities. This can include advocating for their rights, access to necessary resources, and inclusion in social, educational, and employment opportunities. The overarching goal is to change societal perceptions of disability, promoting accessibility, equality, and respect, which ultimately fosters a more inclusive environment where individuals with disabilities can thrive as independent and active members of their communities.
