Terrabilities

Terrabilities: human created structural barriers in all aspects of life that impose limitations on individuals with disabilities (combines theories on ableism and choice, vis-a-vis the 'ability' to contribute to 'terrible' outcomes). Examples: (1) inaccessible product design, (2) undue hardships in receiving legally mandated services, (3) societal attitudes

Universal design and framespotting are critical components of dismantling terrabilities.
