The confusion of health and ability

It is common for people to confuse health and ability, and to assume that people with disabilities are unhealthy or in poor health. However, this is not necessarily the case. Disability can result from a wide range of factors, including genetics, accidents, and health conditions, and it is not necessarily related to overall health or wellness.
It is important to recognize that disability and health are not the same thing, and that people with disabilities can be healthy and lead active and fulfilling lives. At the same time, people with disabilities may face barriers and challenges in accessing healthcare and other resources that can impact their overall health and well-being.
It is important to challenge the assumption that disability and health are necessarily linked, and to recognize that people with disabilities are just as diverse and varied as any other group of people. By working to dismantle ableist attitudes and practices and promoting inclusivity and accessibility, we can create a more equitable and supportive environment for people with disabilities.
