Abstract
People with disabilities have historically endured the horrors of exclusion and elimination because America has incessantly fixated on disability without seeing ability . To correct a disabling view of people with disabilities, this Article prescribes a paradigm shift that permanently redirects the focus from disability to ability . If America achieves this hopeful vision to no longer diss—or disrespect— ability , then people with disabilities will enjoy equal access to equal opportunity.
